So it's really a no win. you get high bail for pettiness, but they technically can't let any harm come to you while you're in holding that they can't cover up, so they put you in solitary to protect you from the other inmates and guards. But they still don't like you, so they also do a lot of petty stuff to you while you're in solitary.

That's assuming military court has bail, I'm not sure they do.

On the plus side if they really wanted to be rid of him they COULD have just thrown him to the violent types and had them take care of him pre-trial. Though I'm not ruling out they might try that anyway.
