There is no absolute constitutional right to bail, only a right against excessive bail. The
U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that amounts more than necessary to ensure that
defendants come to court for their trials are excessive.. Thus judges and magistrates
have to calculate how much money it would take to guarantee that defendants will
appear for their trials.
Our bail system denies poor defendants due process of law, equal protection of the
law, and the right against excessive bail. Due process of law is denied to poor
defendants, because they can't help with their own defense if they are locked up.
Equal protection of the law is denied to poor defendants; because they are jailed,
because they are poor. Finally, the right against excessive bail is denied to poor
defendants, because they can't raise any amount required.
