A defendant can request a hearing to seek a bail reduction.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_column_text]At the hearing, the defendant can argue that the initial bail set by the court is so high that it is effectively a denial of bail and amounts to pretrial detention in jail, even though the defendant is not a flight risk or a threat to the public. (18 USC \u00a7 3142 (c)(2).) Although the court must take this argument into consideration, it is not required to set bail at a level that the defendant can easily pay. Courts can set bail high enough \u201cto induce a defendant to go to great lengths to raise the funds without violating\u201d the constitution or the Bail Reform Act. (U.S. v. Szot, 768 F.2d 159 (7thCir., 1985).) As long as the court\u2019s actual motive is not to just force the defendant to rot in jail awaiting trial, the court can set bail at any level it can justify.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Once a defendant informs the court, through a bail reduction request or otherwise, that she cannot afford the bail set, the court must specify the reason(s) that the amount set is \u201can indispensable\u201d condition of release from jail. (U.S. v. Montececon-Zayas, 949 F.2d 548 (1st Cir. 1991).) The court must set out its rationale in writing. (Fed. Rule of App. Proced. 9.)[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;35px&#8221;]\n<blockquote class=\"mkd-blockquote-shortcode\"  >\n\t<span class=\"mkd-icon-quotations-holder\" >\n\t\t<span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"mkd-icon-font-elegant icon_quotations \" ><\/span>\t<\/span>\n\t<h3 class=\"mkd-blockquote-text\" >\n\t<span>The Supreme Court has noted that bail and the refusal to set bail also implicate the right to due process found in the Fourteenth and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution.<\/span>\n\t<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;35px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Just as the defendant has the right to seek a lower bail, the prosecution can request that the court set a higher level of bail based on the risk that the defendant will flee from the jurisdiction or inflict harm upon a victim or other members of the public. (18 USC \u00a7 3142 (f).) And, the court may hold a hearing to inquire into the source of bail funds that it suspects may be illegal (proceeds from drug sales, for example). Bail is only one of the conditions that a court may impose in order to grant release of a defendant from jail pending trial. Other conditions include travel restrictions, relinquishing a passport, drug testing, electronic monitoring devices (ankle bracelets), house arrest, supervision and reporting during release, and others.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;60px&#8221;]\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"mkd-call-to-action with-icon\" >\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-call-to-action-row-66-33 clearfix\" style=\"padding: 2%;\">\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-text-wrapper mkd-call-to-action-column1 mkd-call-to-action-cell\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-call-to-action-icon-holder\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-call-to-action-icon\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-call-to-action-icon-inner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"mkd-icon-simple-line-icon icon-globe \" style=\"\" ><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-call-to-action-text\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><span style=\"color: #222222;\">Do you need help with reducing bail or avoiding jail time?<\/span><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-button-wrapper mkd-call-to-action-column2 mkd-call-to-action-cell\" style =\"text-align: right ;\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" target=\"_self\" style=\"background-color: #3e475d\" class=\"mkd-btn mkd-btn-medium mkd-btn-solid mkd-btn-icon\"  >    <span class=\"mkd-btn-text\"  >Free Case Evaluation<\/span><span class=\"mkd-btn-icon-holder\">            <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"mkd-icon-font-elegant arrow_carrot-right mkd-btn-icon-elem\" ><\/span>            <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"mkd-icon-font-elegant arrow_carrot-right mkd-btn-icon-elem\" ><\/span>        <\/span>    <\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row triangle_shape=&#8221;no&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1447672428433{padding-bottom: 43px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]he Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution explicitly prohibits \u201cexcessive bail.\u201d The term \u201cexcessive bail\u201d is not defined in the Constitution and the Supreme Court has weighed in on what it means, holding that bail cannot be set so high as to be a ploy to force a defendant to remain in jail.
