America loves to arrest poor people, it's not surprising that they have trouble making bail. I would bet a very large number of the people unable to come up with $1000 or less were unemployed. Additionally, Republicans don't trust giving poor people cash, so the meager welfare system we have involves things that can't be used for bail (food stamps, discounted housing, medical care, etc).
