Sara, an 18-year-old college student, uses cocaine occasionally and was just arrested after buying $200 of it. After spending the night in jail, she is ready to put this whole episode behind her. When she appears before the judge, she has a public defender representing her and the attorney has assured Sara that this is no big deal as it was her first offense. But Sara's bail is surprisingly high for her offense. In fact, her lawyer calls it excessive. Sara's college was paid for by loans and scholarships. She doesn't have any money for bail; the money she used to buy the cocaine was all the money left in her checking account.
