The three strikes law is a very unfair law. Many people don’t even know what this law means. What the three strikes law states is that people that have a strike priors face life in prison even for the smallest crime. The law was passed in the early 90’s. at the time that the law was being passed there were many bad thing on the news and t.v. I believe that many people were just scared of what was happening that they all jumped on the boat. The law sound good and sound like it should work but it is not. Life is game and no one wants to loose, so dont get stuck out. In the game that all americans love (baseball sucks) we still have a chance to win. We have fouls and balls in the game. The law is the pitcher and not a good one, so why don’t we get a foul for small crimes instead of getting struck out. the three strikes law double your time for the second offense, after the first time in jail I personally wouldn’t want to go to jail again and stay longer. The way the system works in unfair to person going through it. Jail is a very violent place. If you want to survive in jail to have to defend yourself. Inmates are placed in situations where they earn there third strike in jail for defending them. The three strikes law has been tweaked and thing have been added than make it worst than what it is. M.
