Article 136 — Refusal of Recognizance or Guarantee.

(1) If the person by whom the commission of a crime is feared refuses to enter into the required recognizance or if, by ill-will or bad faith, he does not name a guarantor or deposit the required surety within the specified time, the Court shall order him to be detained until he complies. (2) The Court shall at the same time determine the duration of such detention. Save in exceptional circumstances such as a renewal of the threats or the obvious persistence of the dangerous disposition or ill-will of the person concerned, the detention shall not exceed three months. The Court may, on application for good reason release the convicted person under supervision (Art (148) or grant a further detention for a period of not more than three months, if safety so requires. The total period of detention may in no case exceed six months. (3) When adequate sureties or guarantees are furnished the prisoner shall be set free.
