Countries like Germany and Iceland, and some areas of the US like Washington DC, just release people freely on $0 bail, and get a pretty high (88-94% from different articles) number of people showing up to court through community jail support groups helping people understand the legal process and recover from being held in a cage.
If you want a place where you can help, look up mutual aid bail funds for your city. There’s probably one and they’re always looking for volunteers or donations.
