SEC. 2. RELEASE OR DETENTION OF A DEFENDANT PENDING SENTENCE OR APPEAL.

    Section 3143 of title 18, United States Code, is amended--
            (1) in subsection (a)--
                    (A) by striking paragraph (1) and inserting the 
                following: ``A person who has been found guilty of an 
                offense and who is awaiting imposition or execution of 
                sentence is entitled to a presumption of release if, at 
                the time of the guilt determination, the person is on 
                release and performing satisfactorily. The person is 
                also entitled to a presumption that all conditions of 
                release continue unchanged. If the attorney for the 
                Government moves to detain the person, the person may 
                only be detained after consideration of the factors 
                listed in section 3142(f)(5).''; and
                    (B) by striking paragraph (2);
            (2) in subsection (b)--

                    (B) in paragraph (1), by striking subparagraph (A), 
                and inserting the following:
                    ``(A) by a preponderance of the evidence that 
                release does not pose a high risk of intentional non-
                appearance in court or a specific and substantial risk 
                that the person will cause bodily injury or use violent 
                force against the person of another if released under 
                section 3142(b) or (c); and'';
                    (C) in paragraph (1)(B)(i), by striking 
                ``reversal,'' and inserting ``reversal of the 
                conviction,'';
                    (D) by striking paragraph (2), and inserting the 
                following:
            ``(3) The person may file a motion requesting that a judge 
        other than the trial judge hear the motion for release if they 
        are moving under paragraph (1)(B)(i) or (1)(B)(ii).''; and
                    (E) in the matter preceding paragraph (2)--
                            (i) by striking ``If the judicial officer 
                        makes such findings'' and inserting the 
                        following:
            ``(2) If the judicial officer makes such findings''; and
                            (ii) by striking ``subparagraph (B)(iv)'' 
                        and inserting ``paragraph (1)(B)(iv)''; and
            (3) by striking subsection (c), and inserting the 
        following:
    ``(c) Release or Detention Pending Appeal by the Government.--In a 
case in which an appeal of a dispositive motion has been taken by the 
United States under section 3731, the person is entitled to a 
presumption of release under section 3142(b) or (c), unless it is 
clearly shown that there are exceptional reasons why such person's 
detention would be appropriate. For cases in which an appeal of a 
person's sentence has been taken by the United States under section 
3742, if the person is already on release and performing 
satisfactorily, the person is entitled to a presumption that all 
conditions of release continue unchanged; if the person is already 
detained, the judicial officer shall--
            ``(1) if the person has been sentenced to a term of 
        imprisonment of 120 months or more, continue the order of 
        detention; or
            ``(2) if the person has been sentenced to a term of 
        imprisonment of less than 120 months, release or detain the 
        person under section 3142.''.

SEC. 3. RELEASE OR DETENTION OF A DEFENDANT PENDING TRIAL.

    Section 3142 of title 18, United States Code, is amended as 
follows:
            (1) By striking subsection (a) and inserting the following:
    ``(a) Presumption of Innocence.--Nothing in this section shall be 
construed as modifying or limiting the presumption of innocence.''.
            (2) By striking subsection (b) and inserting the following:
    ``(b) Presumption of Release Without Conditions.--In all cases, the 
judicial officer shall apply a presumption of release on personal 
recognizance subject to subsections (c), (e), and (f).''.
            (3) By striking subsection (c) and inserting the following:
    ``(c) Imposing Conditions of Release.--
            ``(1) If at the initial appearance hearing or the pretrial 
        release hearing the judicial officer determines by a 
        preponderance of the evidence, based on individualized facts, 
        that the person's release on personal recognizance under 
        subsection (b) creates a high risk of intentional non-
        appearance in court, or a specific and substantial risk that 
        the person will cause bodily injury or use violent force 
        against the person of another, and the judicial officer 
        determines that a combination of conditions under this 
        subsection would reasonably mitigate any risk posed by the 
        person, such judicial officer shall nevertheless order the 
        pretrial release of the person--
                    ``(A) subject to the condition that the person not 
                commit a Federal, State, or local crime during the 
                period of release; and
                    ``(B) subject to the least restrictive further 
                condition or combination of conditions that could 
                reasonably mitigate the risk identified, which may 
                include the condition that the person--
                            ``(i) remain in the custody of a designated 
                        person, who agrees to assume supervision and to 
                        report any violation of a release condition to 
                        the court;
                            ``(ii) maintain employment, or, if 
                        unemployed, actively seek employment;

                        designated law enforcement agency, pretrial 
                        services agency, or other agency;

                        of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 
                        802), without a prescription by a licensed 
                        medical practitioner;

                        hours following release for employment, 
                        schooling, or other limited purposes; and
                            ``(xii) satisfy any other condition that is 
                        necessary to avoid a high risk of intentional 
                        nonappearance in court, or a specific and 
                        substantial risk that the person will cause 
                        bodily injury or use violent force against the 
                        person of another.

        pornography, any release order shall contain a condition of 
        electronic monitoring and each of the conditions specified at 
        clauses (iv) through (viii) of paragraph (1)(B).
            ``(3) The judicial officer may not impose any condition of 
        release that imposes a financial burden on the person released. 
        Prohibited financial conditions include requiring payment of 
        cash bail, requiring a secured bond, requiring proof of ability 
        to pay an unsecured bond, requiring execution of a bail bond or 
        corporate surety bond, requiring a solvent surety to co-sign a 
        secured or unsecured bond, and requiring posting of real

        supervision, electronic monitoring, global positioning systems 
        monitoring, medical, psychological, or psychiatric treatment, 
        and costs associated with any of the other conditions of

    ``(d) No Shackling.--No person shall be shackled or otherwise 
physically restrained when appearing in court for any hearing relating 
to pretrial release or detention, unless the judicial officer makes a 
finding by clear and convincing evidence, in writing or on the record, 
based on individualized, case-specific reasons, that the person poses 
an imminent danger to any person in the courtroom.''.
            (5) By striking subsection (e) and inserting the following:
    ``(e) Initial Appearance Hearing.--
            ``(1) In general and timing.--In any initial appearance 
        before a judicial officer (but in no event later than 48 hours 
        after entering into custody), the judicial officer shall 
        conduct an initial appearance hearing for purposes of advising 
        the person of the criminal complaint or information, conducting 
        arraignment (as appropriate), allowing consultation with and 
        appointment of counsel, and determining whether the judicial 
        officer should release or detain the person. The judicial 
        officer shall provisionally appoint counsel to represent any 
        person eligible for representation under section 3006A (without 
        regard to any financial ability to secure representation) by 
        not later than the beginning of the initial appearance hearing 
        if that person is not otherwise represented by counsel. If at 
        the initial appearance hearing the person is temporarily 
        detained under paragraph (3), the judicial officer shall 
        immediately thereafter, at the same initial appearance, conduct 
        a pretrial release hearing under subsection (f), unless the 
        judicial officer grants a continuance sought by the person or 
        the attorney for the Government under paragraph (1) of such 
        subsection.
            ``(2) Presumption of release without conditions.--At the 
        initial appearance hearing, the judicial officer shall order 
        the pretrial release of the person on personal recognizance 
        under subsection (b) unless the judicial officer determines 
        that--
                    ``(A) a condition or combination of conditions is 
                required under subsection (c); or

        the person until the pretrial release hearing only in 
        accordance with the following:

                        involves a minor victim.
                            ``(ii) Certain terrorism offenses.--An 
                        offense listed in section 2332b(g)(5)(B) for 
                        which a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 
                        years or more is prescribed.

                        which the maximum sentence is life 
                        imprisonment.
                            ``(iv) Certain repeat offenses.--Any felony

                        offenses described in paragraph (3)(A)(iii) or 
                        (3)(B)(iii) of this subsection, or two or more

                attorney for the Government of a likelihood of success 
                on the merits at obtaining an order for detention at 
                the pretrial release hearing, the judicial officer may 
                order temporary detention and may hold a pretrial 
                release hearing under subsection (f) only in one of the 
                following circumstances:

                        a minimum term of imprisonment of ten years or 
                        more is prescribed in the Controlled Substances 
                        Act (21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), the Controlled 
                        Substances Import and Export Act (21 U.S.C. 951 
                        et seq.), or chapter 705 of title 46, and the 
                        attorney for the Government proffers evidence

                        is an organizer or leader in the offense or 
                        proves, by clear and convincing evidence based 
                        on individualized facts, that detention is 
                        necessary because the person's release creates 
                        a specific and substantial risk that the person 
                        will cause bodily injury or use violent force 
                        against the person of another, and proves by 
                        clear and convincing evidence that no 
                        conditions of release could reasonably mitigate 
                        that risk.
                            ``(ii) Firearms offenses.--The person is 
                        charged with any felony that involves the

                        device (as those terms are defined in section 
                        921), or any other dangerous weapon.

        Government must be supported by good cause and may not exceed 
        three days (not including any intermediate Saturday, Sunday, or 
        legal holiday). A continuance of the pretrial release hearing

                convincing evidence based on individualized facts, that 
                detention is necessary because the person's release 
                creates a specific and substantial risk that the person 
                will cause bodily injury or use violent force against 
                the person of another, and proves by clear and

                generalized danger or a financial danger to any other 
                individual or the community. If the attorney for the

                evidence that such request rests on evidence that was 
                newly discovered after the initial appearance and that 
                the failure to discover the evidence previously was not 
                caused by any lack of due diligence.

                non-appearance in court, and proves by clear and 
                convincing evidence that no conditions of release could 
                reasonably mitigate that risk. If the attorney for the 
                Government did not move for detention under subsection 
                (e)(3)(B)(v) or (e)(3)(B)(vi) at the initial appearance 
                hearing yet wishes to seek detention at the pretrial 
                release hearing on the ground that the person's release 
                creates a high risk of intentional non-appearance in 
                court, the attorney for the Government must meet the 
                legal standard in this subparagraph and also establish 
                by clear and convincing evidence that such request 
                rests on evidence that was newly discovered after the 
                initial appearance and that the failure to discover the 
                evidence previously was not caused by any lack of due 
                diligence.

                for the Government bears the burden of proof. If the

                proof, the judicial officer shall release the person
