Three Strike Law

The California Penal Code describes the nature of a strike offense. Strike offenses are violent or serious offenses. The "Three Strike Law" in California can mean a third offense, even a misdemeanor, can send you to prison for a minimum of 25 years. If you have two "strikes" against you, it is possible to spend the rest of your life in prison if convicted of a third offense, even if it is simply petty theft. This law can be broken down as follows:

If you have previously been convicted for committing 2 serious felonies (strikes); and if you are convicted for committing a third offense (felony); you may be sentenced to serve a minimum of 25 years to life in prison.

A strike may include those convictions committed prior to enactment of the "Three Strike Law," any conviction from other states, all federal convictions and even convictions committed as a juvenile.
