     631.44 Recognizance to keep peace. 


    When a person is convicted of an offense not punishable by 
 imprisonment in the Minnesota Correctional Facility-Stillwater 
 or county jail, the sentencing court may require the person to 
 recognize, to keep the peace and be of good behavior for a term 
 of not more than two years.  The court may require the person to 
 be detained in custody until that person agrees to recognize.  
 The recognizance is in addition to the punishment prescribed by 
 law.  It must be with sufficient sureties and in a reasonable 
 sum.
