Three strikes laws are laws put in place to curb the rate of repeat criminal offenders by increasing the punishments for criminal violations each time a crime is committed, up to three.  Upon the third violation, the individual is generally sentenced to life in prison, although this varies by state.  This means that the first criminal offense will have a more lenient sentence than the second offense, and the second criminal offense will have a less serious sentence than the third offense.  In general, prison sentences for following offenses are doubled each time a new crime is committed.    The three strikes law means that individuals that have two DUIs may face excessive prison time, or life, for a third DUI offense in three strikes states.

It should be noted that the three strikes laws aren’t meant to throw misdemeanor offenders in prison for life for repeat offenses.  Instead, it is meant to catch those committing serious felonies from continuing to commit these serious crimes.  Individuals committing repeat misdemeanors will see a change in the severity of their sentencing, but it isn’t the goal of the criminal justice system to throw a shoplifter in prison for life.      

Currently, over half of the states in the United States have three strikes laws enacted.
