ART.35

Effects of bond to keep the peace
   - It shall be the duty of any person sentenced to give bond
     to keep the peace, to present two sufficient sureties who
     shall undertake that such person will not commit the
     offense sought to be prevented, and that in case such
     offense be committed they will pay the amount determined
     by the court in the judgment, or otherwise to deposit such
     amount in the office of the clerk of the court to guarantee
     said undertaking. The court shall determine, according to
     its discretion, the period of duration of the bond. Should
     the person sentenced fail to give the bond as required he
     shall be detained for a period which shall in no case exceed
     six months, is he shall have been prosecuted for a grave or
     less grave felony, and shall not exceed thirty days, if
     for a light felony.

2 WAYS OF GIVING BOND
   1) The offender must present
      - 2 sufficient sureties who shall undertake that
           a. the offender will not commit the offense sought to
              be prevented
           b. and that in case such offense be committed they will
              pay the amount determined by the court

   2) The offender must deposit such amount with the clerk of
      court to guarantee said undertaking;

The court shall determine the period of duration of the bond

The offender may be detained, if he cannot give the bond
a. for a period not to exceed 6 months if prosecuted for
   grave or less grave felony, or
b.  for a period not to exceed 30 days, if for a light felony.

Bond to keep the peace is different from bail bond which is
posted for the provisional release of a person arrested for or
accused of a crime. Bond to keep the peace or for good behavior
is imposed as a penalty in threats.
