Results revealed that attaching conditions to bail is effective. Thirty percent of the defendants interviewed reported that conditions helped keep them out of trouble. Another 14 percent reported that conditions had done so initially, before they realized that little enforcement existed. Findings also suggested that the effectiveness of bail conditions might be enhanced through more systematic matching of condition to defendant and offense and that a strategy of at least partial enforcement might increase the credibility of bail conditions. In addition, magistrates' training programs should place greater attention to the issue of bail with conditions to assist decisionmakers in being clear about the basis and reasons for attaching conditions and ensuring a match between the conditions and the offender. Magistrates also need more information on the enforceability of different conditions and the enforcement strategies used in their areas, and enforcement needs to be given much greater priority.
