Generally, defendants charged with serious violent crimes such as murder, sexual assault, or armed robbery may be more likely to be held in jail prior to trial. Similarly, defendants with a history of failing to appear for court appearances, a record of violent behavior, or a history of interfering with witnesses or evidence may also be considered a flight risk or danger to the community and be held in jail.
The determination of whether a defendant should be held in jail prior to trial is typically made by a judge during a bail hearing, where the judge considers the evidence and arguments presented by the prosecution and defense.
