When the prisoner is detained for a bailable cause or offense, such court or magistrate shall admit him or her to bail, if a sufficient amount thereof is offered, and if not, shall remand him or her with an order fixing the sum in which he or she shall be held to bail, and the court at which he or she shall be required to appear. A judge of the Superior Court in the county where such prisoner is confined may admit him or her to bail pursuant to such order before the sitting of such court.
