Usually it is a cash or property "bond" which is placed in escrow with the court and which could be seized and forfeited if the defendant fails to show for court. Occasionally, if the charge isn't too serious or the defendant has no prior criminal record they will be offered release on "personal recognizance" which means they will be released simply on the strength of their 'promise' to appear.
