It depends on the crime, ie: violent or non violent, as well as other factors on your likelihood to appear in court to face the charges against you. Bail is placed on a person to secure their return to court, if a person cannot produce the bail then Jail is used to ensure their return to face the charges. In some instances where a person committed a non-violent crime, has no prior criminal history are local to the area and likely to return to the court to face the charge, they may simply be released on an appearance ticket, promise to appear note or summons. This varies greatly by state or locality.
