Bail is allowed for minor crimes and the amount depends on the gravity of the offense. When evidence is strong to prove the crime, bail cannot be granted.

Posting bail is a U.S. term. Basically, talk to the lawyer of the accused and let them know you are willing to be a surety for the accused. As a surety you would be responsible for the accused to abide by any conditions of release put on the accused, as well as having to deposit money, or usually just satisfying the court that you have the means to pay the amount set at if the accused were to break his/her conditions. For example, as a surety for someone released on $10 000 "bail", with no deposit, you just need to prove you WILL or are ABLE to get that kind of money if needed. You also have to be proven of good moral character yourself and be approved by the judge to be a surety. It's more about keeping the accused on the up and up as opposed to putting up money.
