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.
