How significant is that problem? As far as I am aware

* Not allowing bail for people at high risk of reoffending or flight is already allowed

* Reoffending while waiting on trial or out on bail is rare

On the other hand there seems to be a huge problem in the US of people being detained for long times without a trial.

I could run the actual statistics for my district’s Court and tell you the percentage of reoffending while on bond, but in my experience a number approaching 40%, of people out on felony bonds, are re-arrested for additional felony conduct.
