If you have been arrested on a $20,000 writ (bond) and are unable to make payment for the bond, you essentially have to stay in jail until the court conducts a hearing for an order to show cause for contempt of a court order for missing the deposition that you were presumably subpoenaed to attend.
I suggest that you consult with an attorney that practices in the area of civil law to assist you.
