Any defendant wanting to leave the State of California for internal or international travel must use the following checklist for guidance; Confirm that the terms of bail allow you to leave California and visit the intended destination.

There are several different types of bail bonds, including but not limited to: Surety Bonds: Surety bonds are the most common type of bail bond and involve a bail bond agent or surety company providing a financial guarantee to the court that the defendant will appear for their scheduled court appearances.
Nature of the Crime: PR bonds are more likely to be granted for non-violent offenses or first-time offenses. Serious crimes, such as violent felonies, are less likely to qualify for a PR bond. Criminal History: Defendants with a clean or minimal criminal record are more likely to be considered for a PR bond.
WHAT ARE THE FACTORS THAT A JUDGE LOOKS AT WHEN DETERMINING BAIL AMOUNT? The defendant's flight risk. The defendant's criminal history. The severity of the alleged crime. The defendant's ties to the community. The defendant's employment status and financial resources. The defendant's mental health and substance abuse history.
If the defendant does not pose a threat to people in the community, they do not have a criminal record, and their crime did not involve violence, they are more likely to get a release on their own recognizance.
Generally, a PR or Personal Recognizance Bond is granted when a defendant has significant ties to the community and is low flight risk. Judging from the amount of the bond, your friend is charged with a serious felony offense.
