Well, it DOES prevent flight. Does it do it in the best way possible? Probably no. But it does prevent flight. You cannot flee if you're stuck in jail.

Like I said. This is a problem that need to be solved legislatively, not by paying others' bail inefficiently.

No one's interested in hearing why their real-world solutions aren't as good as your theoretical non-solution.
