Bail may or may not be provided on the basis of the extent of the criminal activity. In the absence of a bail bond, it would be quite difficult to seek immediate release from the jail. In case the crime is heinous, the defendant is considered as a repeat offender. There could be so many other reasons that may compel law enforcers to deny the bail right to the accused.
