California violent crime tripled as suspects walked free without bail: reform study

A new study comparing California offenders who posted bail with those were let out under "Zero Bail" found that the latter group reoffended sooner and more often.

Under an emergency zero-bail rule at the height of the coronavirus pandemic meant to minimize jail crowding, bail costs were "dramatically reduced," often to $0, according to the study.

After looking at the results, Reisig told Fox News Digital that they show "zero bail is a completely failed policy" and said his goal is for lawmakers to have the data compiled and available to them as the state's legislative session resumes.
