Your choices are to post a cash bond for the full amount of the bond and get it back after the case is over, post a bond through a bondsman paying a percentage that you won't get back, or go to jail. You will also have to hire a lawyer. You might be able to work out the case for a dismissal upon full restitution.

I shoplifted a $60 item. I have no prior charges. Do i stand a good chance of avoiding jail?

You certainly should be able to avoid jail. Depending on where the case is pending, there may be several options available. In Dallas your lawyer will probably suggest a Memo agreement. Pretrial diversion is another option in other jurisdictions. A reduction to a Class C misdemeanor with deferred probation is another. Have your lawyer explain what these options mean and how they effect you. There is no reason why, with some planning, you need to have a record for this offense.

If your Dad has an attorney, which I assume he does, then my advice is for you to work with your dad's attorney. Your failure to do so, could jeopardize your father's case, because you may say or do something that is inappropriate.
