Some of these reasons seem valid to me, but I see a general injustice in the policy of giving privileged people lighter sentences for a whole range of crimes. What it means is that the legal system is intentionally biased here against the poor. Of course, it's biased against them in other ways, too: many have to spend months or years in jail awaiting trial, and their public defenders are overloaded and can't put much time into each case.
