What conditions of supervision can a defendant expect if released?

The conditions imposed can vary widely and are uniquely fashioned to address the background of the defendant and the risks presented.  Common conditions include pretrial supervision and reporting requirements; a requirement a defendant reside in a particular location, including a halfway house; assignment of a third party custodian (someone legally responsible for helping ensure compliance); location monitoring (electronic monitoring, e.g. GPS); drug testing/assessment/treatment; mental health assessment/treatment; employment requirements or restrictions; travel restrictions; reporting contact with law enforcement; and restrictions from possessing firearms or other dangerous weapons.
