In France a judge can place a person under judicial supervision instead of pretrial detention, and one possible duty is to pay a cautionnement. The cautionnement is split into two parts. The first part guarantees that the person shows up and is released with the prosecutor's approval, and the second part can go to victims and fines if the person is convicted.
