Maybe Wisconsin is different, but I've never heard of bail being set by a prosecutor. Bail is set by judges. Sometimes multiple judges in a jurisdiction even agree on a bail guidelines policy, although judges retain discretion in individual cases. Often, those policies have input from prosecutors and other stakeholders, but the judges will be the first to tell you they're in charge.
