Unsecured bonds seem promising. "Show up to court or else you'll owe $10,000." Partially secured bonds also seem not so bad (pay refundable 10% of the bail to the court, rest becomes a debt if you don't show up). Some recent studies have indicated that these might be just as effective as regular bail. DC's PSA ( https://www.psa.gov/ https://www.psa.gov/ ) has shown that this sort of thing can work fine for regular, minor cases. You could go completely cashless and say that most small offenses are just released on their own recognizance and everybody who IS a flight risk gets an ankle bracelet.
