Offenders who, at the time of sentencing, meet the guidelines for a conditional sentence are permitted to serve their 'incarceration' time in the community and living in their residence. Typically, a conditional sentence (commonly referred to as House Arrest) involves terms that the convicted person must remain in their residence except for specific circumstances.

As you should be aware, a surety is essentially a 'jailer' out of jail. When someone is released from bail court with conditions and under the supervision of a 'surety', the surety has promised to enforce the terms of the recognizance of bail and backed up that promise with a financial pledge.

A bail hearing is a judicial proceeding where the court determines if a person charged with a criminal offence should be released on bail, trusted to make any and all required court appearances up to and including a trial.
