I have observed courtroom activities on many occasions. That is the forum in which a well ordered environment is important and that starts with the court's judge. In almost every case, it is the defendant's demeanor that disrupts the order and impugns the integrity of that forum. Incarceration and bail are really the only tools a judge has to effectively control defendant behavior. Many times (maybe most times) someone ends up as a defendant because of their lack of respect for moral and man-made law.
