The State of California has legislated and initiated a Three Strike Law which allows nonviolent and non-serious offenders to receive 25-to-life sentences or greater in prison.
Such sentences are cruel and unjust; and upheld primarily against the poor and minorities. These draconian sentences for nonviolent and non-serious offenders are increasing the State of California's tax burden by billions of dollars when spending in other areas, such as education and healthcare are in desperate need of increased funding.
Support FACTS' effort to confine the application of the law to violent crimes only, which is what most voters thought would happen when they voted for the law 13 years ago! Support Three Strikes reform by signing our petition.
