Should I go back to prison after being released on bail pending trial?

Bail pending trial is only a criminal compulsory measure for criminal suspects and defendants, and it cannot decide whether to sentence or imprisonment. If a criminal suspect or defendant commits a criminal act and is found guilty by the people's court, then he needs to go to jail. You don't have to go back to prison if you are released on bail and sentenced. Usually, the term "imprisonment" means that the party concerned is taken into custody to serve his sentence after being sentenced. However, bail pending trial is only a criminal compulsory measure for criminal suspects or defendants, and whether it constitutes a crime in the end is up to the court to decide. If the client is finally sentenced by the court and taken into custody to serve his sentence, he will go to prison. In addition, according to the law, because the parties are not actually detained, the time for bail pending trial cannot be reduced to imprisonment. Bail pending trial is a compulsory measure stipulated in the criminal procedure law, and it is not a penalty in itself. Its purpose is to ensure the smooth progress of criminal proceedings. As for whether the parties are ultimately guilty, what crimes have been committed and what punishment has been imposed, it will be decided after the court hears it.

(1) An application for obtaining a guarantor pending trial. The detained criminal suspect, defendant and their legal representatives, close relatives and lawyers hired by the criminal suspect apply for bail pending trial.
