For me a third big point was the one about all the people either in jail/prison or out but strongly disadvantaged on account of the parole/probation requirements. Plus the insanity of the bail system and the way poor people's lives can be ruined by being unable to post bail for some relatively minor offense, while a rich person who's done the exact same thing can just shrug it off. Seems to me like the decision of whether or not to incarcerate you in advance of your trial should be based only on whether the judge figures there's a flight risk, not on how fat your wallet is.
