Bail is something you post to keep you out of jail you're already going to, it's not debtor's prison. And we do it all the time; when people can't post bail, they continue on to jail.

In this case the bond is because he's appealing a civil judgement that's been reached. This is different from a bail bond. He's not at risk of jail over this unless he gets in contempt of court.

unless he gets in contempt of court
