Other example

"Provisional liberty is recognised by everybody; it is not called bail. One of the things that the Commission is engaged in, and I wish them joy in their activities, is to look at some form of harmonisation of conditions for bail so that a French magistrate can be confident that if he imposes reporting to the police, it will be done in the UK. We would welcome that to get people bail, but every country bar Scandinavia has some sort of bail system. As I said, I think we have to get provisional liberty incorporated into the European Union. We are establishing our own sets of rules accordingly. The Commission has a Green paper out and there will be supplementary papers looking at practical things like bail and evidence. They are undertaking a huge exercise at the moment. They have got as far as a Green Paper. It was not even alluded to in its Working Party. I could not understand why not"

neutral  jack_speak: Release on own recognizance merely means you are released, usually pending trial, without having to pay bail. But it is not the same as saying temporarily furloughed/released during a jail term. http://www.lectlaw.com/def2/o024.htm
