The person's family doesn't have the bond money at this moment, so the person goes to jail. If the family comes up with the money, but he's in jail already, can he be bailed out still?

Yes, so long as he is in jail only due to the inability to post bond (and not, for instance, serving a sentence). Bond is only meant to insure a person's appearance in court, and every person charged with a crime has a right to a bond (although some can't meet the amount).
So yes, it can work. Please make sure, if you are posting, the person WILL appear in court, or you'll lose your $$$$$

If the person has been in jail for a while awaiting trial (let's say at least 45 days), see if the defense lawyer or public defender can motion for a bail review hearing to see if the amount of bail can be lowered. Bear in mind that lowering the bail could result in the addition of conditions - like weekly visits to a pre-trial officer, home monitoring, drug and alcohol testing, staying away from witnesses and co-defendants, etc.
If we're not dealing with a crime of violence and the person has no long criminal history, the judge could release the person on recognizance just to free up space at the county jail. On the other hand, if the bail is $1,000,000 - a judge could lower it considerably but nowhere near 0. Good luck.

When the judge sets bail it's not a requirement that bail be paid immediately. As long as the judge doesn't lift or change his bail order the person can be bailed out whenever he comes up with the money.

definite you will possibly be bailed or bonded out as many cases as your wallet could have the money for, as long as you haven't got any open warrants or detainers you would be waiting to submit bail and be launched..

Yes, for sure. Inmates call bail bondsmen themselves from jail all the time.

Yes, as long as he hasn't pleaded or been found guilty and sentenced.
