Somebody"s charged, then comes issue of bail (becoming major issue because a lot of people argue that bail is punishment) Bail is an insurance policy that you"re actually going to show up for trial. Make a motion that it"s violation of 18 amendment. Alternatives to bail: ror (release on your recognizance) Conditional bail: release you under promise you go to drug treatment; if you don"t show up then you have to pay that money.
