No, I'm not meaning this here. I'm meaning people who cannot afford bail so are kept imprisoned, before even going to trial.

Oh. NGL I've never heard it used in that context before (as an american)
In the US people kept on bail are kept in the same jail as people who have already gone to trial and been found guilty of minor crimes.
