My understanding is that due to the 8th ammendment, it's very unusual to refuse bail outright, and when it is, it's generally done on the basis of arguments that forfeiture of bail money would not be coercive to the defendant.
Additionally, measures are often taken to prevent the defendant violating their bail conditions (electronic monitoring, forfeiture of passports, etc).
