§ 3973. Bail

When the prisoner is detained for a bailable cause or offense, such court or magistrate shall admit him to bail, if a sufficient amount thereof is offered, and if not, shall remand him with an order fixing the sum in which he shall be held to bail, and the court at which he shall be required to appear. A judge of the superior court in the county where such prisoner is confined may admit him to bail pursuant to such order before the sitting of such court. (Amended 1973, No. 193 (Adj.
