Although the Eighth Amendment protects us from excessive bail, it does not guarantee us the right to bail. This means bail can be refused for a variety of reasons. Some violent offenses are not eligible for bail, and some people are refused bail because they may be considered a flight risk or a danger to others. Ultimately, whether you get bail and the dollar amount it is set at is up to your judge’s discretion.
