When a suspect is arraigned on a federal charge or arrested and appears at a hearing called a presentment, bail is one of the first items on the agenda.

If the suspect is not deemed a flight risk or an imminent threat, the presumption is that the suspect is entitled to bail.

If bail is set, the judge will also set conditions, which can be "all cash," "bond" or, in some cases, the court will accept property as collateral. The source of the bail can be an issue - you should consult an attorney in your jurisdiction to see what the local practice is.

Federal courts can allow bail. That's up to the judge.

That may usually be paid by bond, with certain exceptions.
