Unfortunately without a little more information it is difficult to answer that question.  The broad answer is that when someone is arrested, the magistrate assesses whether they are a candidate for bond/bail.  That is dependent on the charge, their record, and the law.  If the magistrate denies bail then an attorney representing them can file for a bond hearing in the appropriate court.
