Or is it guilty til proven innocent?
depends on what you have been convicted of, if you are sentenced to death there is no buying your way out of it. it does not work like bail in america. if you are convicted of something light and are sentenced to 5 years, you maybe able to bail (buy your way out) and be deported immediately. sometimes you must serve a minimum amount of time. but the bail amount will be very steep.
crimochina:
i forgot to answer your qustion there is no bail prior to trial. trial happens quickly after you have been arrested
also depends on the kind of connections your friends have and how big your town is. the smaller the town the easier it is to weasel your way out.
make some friends in high places.
