A release on recognizance is not a criminal charge, but rather a type of pretrial release where a defendant is not required to post bail but is released based on their promise to appear in court as required.

"Personal Recognizance" means that you have a good enough background and sufficient "ties to the community" that the court will release you without your having to post a money bond.

if an inmate is to be released on recognizance and its not what to do
On your own recognizance pretty much means that you are released on bail on the promise to appear for your court dates. You may be released by a justice of the peace on your own recognizance during your bail hearing.
This is known as release on own recognizance (OR). It allows a defendant to be released from custody without having to post bail, under the condition that they promise to appear at all future court proceedings. OR release is often granted to defendants considered low risk to public safety and flight.
The study that tested the effectiveness of the release-on-recognizance alternative was the Manhattan Bail Project, which took place in New York City. This project was one of the first to evaluate the impact of bail reform on pretrial release rates and court appearances.
Example: The judge let me go on my own recognizance. In this case, it's used as the object of the prepositional phrase.
The opposite would be pretrial release, either on one's own recognizance (ROR) or by posting bail (monetary guarantee of appearance).
My understanding is that they have 90 days to either have you picked up or have to release you to your own recognizance.
