The Three Strike Law is not doing what it was said to do. it puts people in jail for to
many non-violent crimes. then for each of the non-violent cases it will over flow the jail houses
wish will for se the actual violent cases to be seat loose with merely pensions and house arrests.

what supposed to be for only the violent cases that include murder, rape, child mu lest well you

man that tired to show lift two movies Cinderella and free willy for his children what would you
have sentenced i thought a simple fine would do. Then The Three Strike law gave that man 50
years of jail time one for each theft now is that justice i believe that would violate the 8-th

There being all there unrightful cases all these people being sent to jail is causing
overcrowding. many jails that are supposed to only hold 18,000 now have double that amount.
for 78% of the second strikers and 50% of the third striker are in jail for non-violent crimes.
as i said what was supposed to be for only the violent cases that sure is a lot of non-violent
cases. with all of this sending people to jail for stupid reasons who do
