In Stack v. Boyle, 342 U.S. 1 (1951), the Supreme Court declared that a bail amount is excessive under the Eighth Amendment if it were a figure higher than is reasonably calculated to ensure the defendant's appearance at trial.
Finally, the Eighth Amendment addresses the terms of an individual's imprisonment and punishment, both before and after conviction. The use of bail means that an accused can pay a bond, or insurance, that she will appear in court at a future date and be released from jail in the meantime.
