Judicial Release and the conditions of such release is decided on a case-by-case- basis. Such release and conditions thereto depend largely on the case itself, and of course, the past history of the defendants
It is up to the judge to decide what sort of conditions will be set for the release. In fact, the judge can deny judicial release an keep the defendant in prison. The strongest and most reasonable argument is that as your fiance' owes 15 thousand or more in restitution, neither prison or house arrest will work towards him paying the victim(s) back for the crime. As such, it is more likely than not the judge will order probation, with conditions, so that the victims may be paid back.
