35. A person convicted of an offence not punishable with imprisonment for life may, instead of, or in addition to, any punishment to which that person is liable, be ordered to enter into that person’s own recognisances, with or without sureties, in such amount as the court thinks fit, that that person shall keep the peace and be of good behaviour for a time to be fixed by the court, and may be ordered to be imprisoned until such recognisance, with sureties if so directed, is entered into; but so that the imprisonment for not entering into the recognisance shall not extend for a period longer than one year, and shall not, together with the fixed term of imprisonment if any, extend for a term longer than the longest term for which that person might be sentenced to be imprisoned without fine.
