Rhode Island General Laws Title 10. Courts and Civil Procedure--Procedure in Particular Actions § 10-11-3. Bail by indorsement of process

Instead of giving bond as provided in § 10-11-2, the person becoming bail may indorse his or her Christian name and surname on the back of the writ or process, which shall hold him or her as bail to the same extent as if he or she had executed and delivered a formal bail bond.
