One other good way to slow down crime would be to remove the liberal progressives that wont prosecute criminals. They also set bonds so low that they are easy to pay, only to let the criminal back out in public. I would also like to see the death penalty used more often. Yes, that last part is harsh . 

The only legal reason for cash bail is to make sure the ACCUSED (but not convicted) show up to trial. It is illegal and immoral to punish someone on a accusation which may or may not be true. The judge at the arraignment can decide, if warranted, for no bail. That is where the decision on release or no release should be made, not on ones ability to pay. Amount of bail has no bearing on if they should be or should not be released.

I should have been more clear.. I was thinking about repeat offenders.  In my area, our criminals are repeat offenders. 

It still isn't a "bail amount" issue, it is a release/don't release issue. Judges and statute issue. Some cases the judges hands are tied by how the laws are. Amount of bail is only supposed to make the defendant show up in court. No assessed bail and the person shows up, and all is fine, $10m and they don't, it wasn't enough!
