To add another data point to the discussion -- I recently discovered that the bail system is sometimes used as a tool to force women into prostitution; see https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2018/jun/29/revealed-how-us-sex-traffickers-recruit-jailed-women-for-prostitution-the-trap https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2018/jun/29/r.... TLDR is that pimps find women who are up for bail, offer to bail them out, and then threaten to rescind the bail if they don't start working for them. It seems like the easier fix would be to forbid a bail payment from being rescinded once it's made, but removing bail entirely also solves the problem.
