Let me step in and clarify somethings.
Yes, you can bail yourself out of jail. If your bail is $5000, you have to pay $5000 to get out.
BUT if you don't want to pay $5000 to get out of jail, you can get a bail bondsman to do it for ~10% and only have to pay $500, unless you don't show up for court / hearing / arraignment / etc.
Then you get some bounty hunters on your ass, plus a warrant for your arrest, plus you have to pay back the bondsman the entire $5000 + all costs to bring you in.
Enjoy.
(btw, I bounty hunt.)
