Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Speedy trial

My son was arrested on July 2, 07 and charged with arsons. His arraigment is Jan 23, 08; He is being held without bail. Is there any way to get him released on bail, is this a speedy trial? This is his first offense, he is being held in max security without bail. He is 23 years old. This is his first offense. He has never been charged with drugs or alchole; but the commonwealth attorney used this as an excuse for the judge to deny him bail.
