There are several states with no private bail including Oregon and Massachusetts somehow I doubt that offenders in those states are worse off.

If you think that judges that get donations from bondsmen don’t take that into account when setting bail you are very naive.
This is the exact same problem as private prisons the justice system should not be monetized for profit.
