In case of an adjournment, if the accused is charged with any offense not bailable by the district court, he or she shall, in the meantime, be committed to the adult correctional institutions; but if bailable, the accused may give recognizance in a sum and with surety or sureties to the satisfaction of the court for his or her appearance for further examination, and for want of recognizance may be committed to the institutions.
