Oh.
Well, if someone has a bail of say 10 grand, can’t they put up 10%? Since I have never been arrested, I don’t know how it works very well.
But if anyone has to post bail, exceptions for income “disparity” should not enter the equation.
The fee to the bail bondsman is 10%. If you have the assets (house, stocks, etc.) to back the loan, then the bail bondsman will cover the bail amount for you.

Yes but when you pay the 10% to the court, you get back whatever isn’t taken for court costs and fines. As I understand it, the bondsman keeps that 10% as his fee.
