Bail is imposed to guarantee the person will show up to the next and all subsequent court dates. However, many criminals "jump bail" (become "bail jumpers") and then, Bounty Hunters must search for them to re-arrest the criminal. At that point, a judge might revoke the previous bail OR impose an even higher bail amount.

Bail imposition also has to do with the over-crowding of our jail systems. Without bail, charged persons stay in jail (not prison) until they are found guilty, when they are then moved to a prison to spend their sentences. Most charged persons without bail can sit in county jail for 1 to 2 years before their case comes to trial. So bail is designed to help reduce jail populations while also helping to give the person freedom from jail until proven guilty.
