Will you be sentenced to jail after being released on bail?

Bail pending trial is only a compulsory measure in the process of criminal proceedings, which does not mean that the penalty above fixed-term imprisonment will not be sentenced. Whether you will go to jail or not will not be known until the judicial organs further hear it. The maximum period of bail pending trial shall not exceed 12 months, and bail pending trial cannot replace criminal punishment. If the court decides that criminal responsibility needs to be investigated, the suspect will still be sentenced.

If bail pending trial is about to expire, the executing organ shall notify the decision-making organ in writing fifteen days before the expiration of the time limit, and the decision-making organ shall make a decision to lift bail pending trial or change compulsory measures, and notify the executing organ in writing before the expiration of the time limit. The key depends on whether the court makes a guilty or innocent judgment, whether the crime is serious or light, and whether criminal responsibility will be investigated after the expiration of bail pending trial.
