Mandatory Bail Money a Bad Idea!
As a former law clerk and court liaison, this is 1000% a very, very bad idea! The US does mandatory bail and look how messed up things are. People incarcerated not because they're any greater danger to society or flight risk, but because they're too poor to afford it and have no way to get the cash that fast, if at all.
The current system would work if only they invested in actually going after people financially who breach their conditions under the current rules, including debt collection, liens on property and blocking renewals of driving licenses and passports, etc. Fix what's already there rather than going down a rabbit hole that makes no sense.
