An excessive amount of bail may not be demanded: 120 CPEA. If bail is set at an amount which is beyond the capacity of X to raise, he will end up in custody and the granting of bail will have been a futile gesture; in effect a person is denied bail if bail is set well beyond his means to pay. In respect of persons with little or no financial means, bail can be set at a low level or a person can be released on his own recognizances, with or without further conditions, or he can be released subject to sureties being found, provided that there is a reasonable prospect of his finding such sureties.
