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.
