If you have money, you can pay the bail and get released, while poor people can’t.

I don’t see why people with money should get benefits in the legal system?

    And since bail is generally set at the discretion of a judge (I’m sure some jurisdictions have limitations, and others just “guidelines”), it can be increased based on the perceived heinousness of the crime or in some cases outright denied entirely.
