Answer:
No but yes because the pretrial release decision is one of the most important crossroads of the criminal justice system
These systems all involve some sort of bail/bound alternative
Cash bond- come back or you lose money!
Property bond
Release on recognizance- when a defendant pays no money to be released from jail and promises to appear in court when required!
Surety bond- most common method, the use of a bail agent who promises to pay the defendant's bail if he or she fails to appear for further court proceeding
Ultimately balances two things: presumption of innocence and preventative detention
Plea bargain
Most attrition of cases at this stage
Plea bargain- a compromise reached by the defendant, the defendant's attorney, and the prosecutor, in which the defendants agrees to plead guilty or no contest in return for a reduction of the charges severity, dismissal of some charges, further information about the offense or about others involved in it, or the prosecutors agreement to recommend a desired sentence
Not concerned with determining guilt or innocence
Allows the defendant and the prosecution to efficiently determine the amount of punishment without the expense of a jury trial
Sentence in plea bargain often much more lenient than trial- so understand why defendant take it
