The defendant's ties to the community. The defendant's employment status and financial resources. The defendant's mental health and substance abuse history.
The bail amount is usually determined at the person's first court appearance, commonly referred as the arraignment stage. A judge has the option to either release a person on their own recognizance (OR) with a promise to appear at their next court appearance, or deny a person's OR and set bail.
Bail is not intended as a punishment in itself. It is rather a way of securing a defendant's agreement to abide by certain conditions and return to court.
