(in the US) That's the way our legal system operates. If the person is not a flight-risk, and they are eligible for bailbond, the judge may be allowing them to be out on bond prior to the actual sentencing date to wind up family or business affairs prior to reporting for prison.

If you are guilty of a crime 3 times is it a felony?
It really depends on the state. In minnesota, we have 'sentencing guidelines' in which if a person commits under the same category repetedly, the sentence gets worse and worse potentially leading to a felony charge. The potential is there, but the magic number of '3', I am unfamiliar with. (I apologize if my spelling is a bit off)

It depends upon the laws of the state where the crime occurred and the type of crime involved, whether or not the person had a previous criminal record, if the person was an adult, and so forth.
