The Way the Law Reads in California is Scary
The Way the Law Reads in California is Scary

Former LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva says people who commit serious crimes in California are getting released with merely a warning not to do it again.

Villanueva cites a study of Yolo County, California, which studied the effects of zero bail.

Among only some of the results: The average recidivism rate for those released on zero bail over 18 months was 78 percent.

For those released on bail it was only 46 percent.
