When the prisoner is admitted to bail, he shall furnish a bond in such sum as the court directs, conditioned that he shall render himself amenable to all orders and process of the court or judge and that he will forthwith comply with any order directing his return to custody. Except as to the bond of a prisoner whose discharge has been ordered, the bond must be with the same surety as required on a bail bond of a defendant in a criminal action.
