Form 6 Release Order

A release order is a written document the court uses when letting someone out of jail while their criminal case is ongoing. It spells out exactly what conditions a person must follow after being released, such as checking in with a pretrial services officer, staying in the state, or avoiding contact with certain people.

The form includes sections for different types of release, like being released on your own promise to show up (called "own recognizance"), being released with supervision, or being released after paying bail. The judge checks off which conditions apply to that specific person based on the details of their case.

If you are released, you must follow every condition listed on your release order. Breaking any of those conditions can get you arrested again and brought back to court, and it may make it harder to get released a second time.
