If you've failed to appear in court, even once, the prosecutor will use that against you to keep you in jail. The best step to take when a judge denies bail is to hire an attorney who can negotiate and fight for your release.
When a suspect is denied bail, that means he/she cannot be released and must be held until their court hearing. This is at the discretion of the Judge. Reasons why a Judge may deny someone bail can include the following: Flight Risk. Public Safety Risk.

This usually happens if the defendant is not adhering to the conditions of their release or if the person posting bail feels that the defendant is a flight risk.

After you have done that, your agency will advise you on the required paperwork through their contract management software and what evidence you need to give in order to be released from your agreement.
