Isn't this really a problem of over-criminalization? If our court systems weren't clogged with suspects, wouldn't judges have more time to properly set bail by evaluating each suspected offender on their merits? We don't want dangerous criminals set loose without proper guarantees, and we don't want the less wealthy pleading guilty because they can't make bail. So the real solution seems to be to roll back as many non-violent criminal offenses as possible and perhaps simply live with people serving plastic straws that 99.9% won't wind up in the oceans instead of throwing them in jail for 6 months, or at least make them into civil offenses.
