Rapper Curtis Jackson, also known as 50 Cent, addressed Los Angeles's crime crisis last week in response to the recent reinstatement of the zero bail policy.

Jackson shared a FOX 11 Los Angeles segment about the zero bail policy on Instagram Reels Thursday.The policy, which was adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic in an attempt to reduce crowding in prisons, drops bail to as low as $0 for suspects accused of misdemeanors and non-violent felonies. "LA is finished watch how bad it gets out there.SMH [shaking my head]" the "Candy Shop" rapper wrote on Instagram.

Critics say the policy, which came back in May after ending in July 2022, is spiking violent crime in the Golden State. A recent study published by the Yolo County District Attorney's Office found that zero bail policies have "horrific" effects on public safety. "I mean, we have more people being shot at, stabbed, assaulted, robbed, beaten.These are real victims – and the numbers are staggering under zero bail," Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig told Fox News Digital.

The study found that suspects released without bail reoffended 70% more often than those who posted bail, and were rearrested on 163% more charges.
