When a person is picked up by the police and is brought to jail, that person typically will remain behind bars until the court either releases the person after the case is settled or until the person pays the required bail. Therefore, getting out of jail either requires staying there for a period of time to face the charges or paying money to get out. What happens, though, if a person wants to get out of jail with bail but does not have any money?
