It is not a choice, (b) is not and has never been what bail was supposed to be about. If your prosecutors were using it that way, it was very much a misuse, at the very least out of sheer laziness (because getting insane bail amounts was easier than actually demonstrating a need for remanding) and most likely racist and / or classist.
