1 answer:

3 0

A person convicted of a third felony can be sentenced to life imprisonment based on three-strikes provision.

As part of the Justice Department's anti-violence policy, habitual offender statutes, commonly referred to as three-strikes laws, have been in place in the United States since at least 1952.

For anyone convicted of an offense and who has one or two prior significant offenses, they demand a mandatory life term in prison, with or without parole, depending on the jurisdiction.

The three-strikes rule severely raises the jail terms of those who are found guilty of a felony after being previously convicted of two or more violent crimes or major felonies and restricts the possibility that they would not receive a life sentence.

The phrase "Three strikes and you're out" originated in baseball, where a batter who receives three strikes is out.
