Help explain this to me.

Let’s say that I am being accused of a crime and I am taken to jail. The court puts up a $5,000 bail bond. Let’s say I can’t pay it. So I call a friend up who says, “yeah, I’ll pay that $5,000″. How does that ensure my appearance in court. It’s not my money either way; what do I care?

Now, with that type of situation present in our country (U.S.), why put a bail bond?
