   No crimes are fair to the victims. Setting a bail system which some   
   people can participate in and others cannot based on income and wealth   
   is inherently unfair, and some would argue contributes to a higher   
   percentage of poor people being imprisoned than an equal number of rich   
   people accused of the same crime.   
      
   Then again, being able to afford private representation compared to a   
   public defender is another discussion.
