| The Pretrial Services Report:
The pretrial services report includes personal history
data that pertains to the defendant's potential pretrial
release performance, and it usually includes a recommendation
for release or detention. A recommendation for release
must consider the least restrictive conditions necessary
to reasonably assure the defendant's appearance and the
community's safety. In
addition to the release conditions found in 18 U.S.C.
Section 3142 (1) (B) (i)-(xiv), the court could release
a defendant on other conditions or alternatives to detention
such as:
-
pretrial services supervision - for example, may
include defendant reporting, community contacts,
urinalysis;
-
substance abuse treatment (in/out patient);
-
electronic monitoring surveillance;
-
halfway house;
-
curfew monitored by pretrial services; and/or
-
third party custody.
