Most people are arrested and released. They are not held in custody pre-trial. However, they may be placed under conditions that must be followed as part of being on bail, or on release conditions.
In domestic violence situations, release conditions such as no-contact with the complainant, or no-go to the residence are serious problems, as it means the accused person can’t go home, or see his or her children. Changing the release conditions can be done with the consent of the Crown or by a bail review.
