You are arrested and placed in a cage before any sort of due process has concluded.

The due process doesn't have to be first, it just has to happen, and it has to be binding. (i.e. they can't just keep you or your property if they lose the trial)

Well, that's not really supposed to happen either.

Of course it is. The Bill of Rights contemplates bail, so obviously it wasn't considered a violation of due process to hold someone before trial.

I'm sorry, I was unclear. I meant to suggest that the right to be free from excessive bail has been eroded as well.
