It is my understanding that certain courts in Pennsylvania permit a "pledge of property"for the putting up of the bond of another and that would be without the use of a bail bondsman.  It really depends on the court, though, if it is permitted.  I would go and check with the clerk of the Court as to what is permitted in the court in the county in which the legal matter is pending.  If they do allow it there is I am sure a bunch of paperwork that would be required.  I would also have your attorney take a look at the paperwork and explain it to you if you do not understand what they want from you.  Good luck.
