It suggested that might be an issue, but note there were two prongs - no bail and extended timeframe for trial. Keep in mind, being denied bail won't extend your jailtime (if guilty) it just moves it pretrial.

Meanwhile, that same letter that spent 1/3 of a sentence mentioning bail talked about plea bargains for 2 paragraphs. I agree we have problems, but bail (or lack thereof) isn't the issue.
