More than likely your court has a program which allows the county probation department to monitor at risk individuals. These are usually people who are at risk to reoffend or to fail to show for their court dates. If you are unhappy with these arraignments your lawyer should petition the court to change the situation. Just remember when making bail applications, the bail can go up as well as down.

IN my state, if they are looking to give you probation, they have you go over there an do an interview to make sure you are elgible and the program will take you, that way you can do that instead of jail when you go back to court. So look at it as a good thing =)
