Why should the system have access to the candidates' name?

You've been denied parol because someone with a name similar to you skipped bail is unfair regardless of race.

You've been denied parol because you come from a rough neighborhood is also unfair, regardless of race.

In fact, even if 99.9% of all people named X skipped bail, it would be unjust to deny somone bail because his name is X.
