I have always seen in movies how people bail each other out and I am always confused on the concept.

You’re arrested for a crime and charged, but your trial won’t be for months. Bail allows you to remain out of jail until your trial… it’s basically a deposit on you to appear. Bail is not always granted, since some criminals are too violent/dangerous or too high of a flight risk. But somebody charged is considered innocent until proven guilty, so its a way to prevent ruining somebody’s life (lose job, lose home, credit ruined, etc) for something they didn’t do/weren’t convicted of.
