Your friend has overheard jail officials talking about his case. He thinks that the government will request that he be held without bail, largely because his drug trafficking activity involved contact with suspected terrorists. As far as you can
remember, the Bail Reform Act of 1984 establishes that:
You are a second year law student at the prestigious Frankfurter School of Law. One of your
classmates is arrested on federal drug trafficking charges and is held at the local federal
detention center. You show up to visit about a week after he is first taken into custody. He
informs you that his parents are willing to pay for an attorney, but have not yet done so
because they are trying to save some money. Because your friend was a C student who
didn’t always pay attention in class, he has some very basic legal questions for you to
answer.
a. Being held without bail is always a violation of 8 th Amendment rights
b. One can be held without bail under certain circumstance, particularly if deemed a
danger to the community
c. One must be offered some monetary option for bail, even if it is a very high dollar
amount
d. There is a 10 million dollar maximum for bail, and that is what your friend will likely
be given
