Purpose Of The Three Strike Law
The Three Strike Law is a law that was passed in 1994. The purpose of this law is to require the defendant extra time for their new felony because of a crime that was committed in the past. This law have been active for several years and it came with a lot of pros and cons. In this paper I will give my view on what I think the good and the bad is for this law.
I understand why the government started The Three Strike Law, but I disagree with this law because there are consequences that come with it. One of the problems with having this law is that prisoners can start to join gangs in jail because they do not have nothing else better to do. If someone is sitting in jail for many years and only have nothing but negative influences surrounding
them, then it would cause problems. Another thing this law can lead up to is depression because some people want to change their lives but just can not make the right choices. Just sitting in jail alone and not prospering in life can drive a person crazy , especially sitting in jail longer then you deserve.
Next is the good that come with The Three Strike Law. The pros that come with having this law is that criminals can get a education instead doing things that will get them in trouble. Even though some of the prisoner actions are unacceptable, I think that inmates can get their education if enough effort is given. The prisoners can learn people skills, work ethics and how to fill out a application. Another positive that come out of prolonging the jail time is discipline because the guards in jail are not always generous. Also the discipline is a fantastic way to make the inmates act right because some people grew up thinking there are no consequences. Some times people just need to be pushed around to be shown what is the right because talking does not always work.
In conclusion, many people receive a excessive amount of time in jail because they have done many serious crimes. The people that get extra time on their sentence are panelized by the Three Strike Law. The three strike law have many Pros and cons that come with it because how it affect the individual.
