Why is bail used?

When a person is in jail awaiting trial, society faces competing priorities. On one hand, it's expensive to support a prisoner, and since there's no conviction yet it's quite possible that the imprisoned person isn't guilty. On the other hand, society also has an interest in making sure defendants actually show up for their trials. Bail can potentially serve both of these interests at the same time by making sure defendants will appear while keeping them out of jail until their trials.
