Make bail amounts for suspects in Alaska should be above 100,000 for first offense

Alaska bail out amounts should be above 100,000 for severe crimes even on the first offense.  If you make penalty for the crime severe enough.  You prevent people from committing the crime.  You also should require at least 90 percent of the bail money before release instead of just 10 percent.  This will also deter crime.  By making the bail amount high you actually keep the prisoners in jail instead having to search for them later.  Having the bail amount so low it does an injustice to the victims of the crime.
