The power of judicial review was first used in the 1803 case of Marbury v Madison . Also at this time, decisions are made as to whether or not bail will be set, or some other type of pretrial release. This mechanism is used to avoid depriving a presumptively innocent person of their liberty. It is usually a sum of money or property that the defendant must provide the court to ensure their appearance in court at a later date. In most cases, the individual may rely upon a bail bondsmen to help them post bail.
Bail bondsmen provide cash for release for a certain fee.
Interestingly, if the individual decides to skip bail, the bail bondsman can track them down without any restrictions of extradition, use of force, etc. In this case, there is not cash or property bond used to ensure the appearance of the individual. They are trusted to appear based on their promise to the court. Under this alternative, the individual is provided a number of guidelines by which he must abide by. If violation occurs, the defendant's release is revoked.
