The U.S. Constitution requires that virtually everyone accused of a crime is entitled to release on reasonable bail or O.R.  A reasonable bail is that amount necessary to guarantee your presence in court, and no more.  In this state, unlike others, “public safety” has crept into bail discussions to rationalize illegally high bails.  It is known that holding people on high bail makes guilty pleas more likely than trial, which is why games are played with bails in this state.  This is patently unconstitutional.  If you cannot get out on illegally high bail, do not give them their easy conviction.  Make the government earn every conviction it obtains.
