In which situation would a detainee NOT be released?

A detainee would not be released if they pose a flight risk due to the potential danger they present in not returning for future hearings or court dates. The assessment of a flight risk is critical in determining whether a detainee can be safely released without supervision. If a detainee is perceived as likely to evade legal proceedings or not comply with conditions of release, authorities will typically opt to keep them in custody to ensure they face the necessary judicial process.

In other situations, such as intoxication, while it might inhibit their ability to be safely released immediately, this can often be resolved after they have sober up and are capable of being released responsibly. If a detainee has a family member available to take them home, this might lead to their release under supervision or a condition that could ensure their return. Similarly, a promise to appear in court may influence release decisions, but it does not inherently negate the risk of flight, especially if other factors indicate the detainee remains a risk.
