When someone is arrested and booked into jail, they are under arrest but the State of Idaho or Wyoming must first prove their case against the accused before they can punish someone. The trials can take a long time and for someone sitting in jail they often loose their job and are unable to care for their loved ones who depend on them. The State of Idaho and Wyoming can release you until your trial but how do they determine that you would return to court on your own Recognizance? The court asks for a monetary amount of money that is put up until your return, this is called a bail bond.
