...and what about the first two strikes, I'm sure the community is suffering the great loss........

I'm sick to death of our "judicial" system!!!!! I'd also like to know what the third person's respone on this means. "What about the first two strikes." It really does'nt matter what they are. Nobody should have to do time for nothing. Or for petty, nothing crimes. Let the time fit the crime. To many children, wives,parents,etc. having to live without their loved ones. Not for serious or violent crimes, but for stupid idiotic crimes. The politicians want you to think they're keeping the streets safe. Safe from what, the calculator theif, the guy who bought two macadamia nuts? It's nothing but a political ploy to get you to vote for them. PERIOD!!!!! Naive taxpayers pumping more money into the prison system than into education. Much more money.

continued... Come on Californian's, wake up. This three strike law is unconstitutional. Extremely expensive, and extremely hard on the families as well as the inmate. This law needs to be changed to all serious or violent crimes. Not any felony. I wish Bennie Teal good luck with everything. I also wish all the other men and women sentenced under three strikes for petty crimes good luck. May God bless us all. If everyone works together, we CAN get this law amended.

I am trying to find the compleat text on the Three strike Law, would you know were on the web I could find it.

Sunday, May 17, 1998 -- Found you on FACTS - Families to Amend the 3 Strikes Law - I understand this blatant misuse of power and the frightening consequences of one person being empowered enough to steal another person's life with just a word.. a lie.. a vindictiveness. My husband is doing 29 years and 8 months in CDC, Lancaster California.. Not a 3 strikes case, but definitely an abuse of law and power. He is innocent of the crimes he was convicted of in San Bernardino County, and his trial attorney was appointed as a judge in Victorville after My husbands' sentencing. This judge even perjured himself to justify his lack of adequate defense for my husband when we attempted to gain a re-trial. It is an amazing story. The gulity person took a deal and was sentenced to about 4 years, did two and was released this Easter. My husband didn't take a deal when he was offered 2 years , then 4 years, then 8 etc.. He had believed that the system worked and that he would be found not guilty. He will never get the opportunity to make that mistake again. I can certainly believe what has happened to you and so many others. God help us all. I have no faith in the law or justice it is JUST US. Judges, Lawyers,Prosecutors, Legislators ... most are criminals in one way or another but who is taking them to task? We are at their mercy. Justice isn't the motivating factor in my opinion, it is greed and power, vote and moral sickness. Prisons are big money business, and jobs for many who are too ignorant and unqualified to perform respectable work. Lisa Banuelos

04:45 PM ET 07/05/98 Calif. officials block prison probe -- paper LOS ANGELES, (Reuters) - Officials of California Gov. Pete Wilson's administration sought to block probes into brutality and mismanagement at the Corcoran State Prison in Californa, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday. The investigations, one by Wilson's office and another by state Attorney General Dan Lungren's office, ended last year without looking into any of the seven deaths and 43 injuries resulting from the use of assault rifles by corrections officers at the prison, the paper said. The Times also claimed the prison guard union, which has contributed to both Wilson's and Lungren's political campaigns since 1989, was allowed to stymie attempts to question key officers at Corcoran, located just south of Fresno. ``The union and the governor4s office ran the investigation,'' Jim Connor, the state corrections department agent who supervised the team of investigators, told the Times. ''We would try to question a witness, and the union was there blocking us ... This was no independent inquiry. It was just a sham.'' Wilson's press secretary, Sean Walsh, denied the charges of a ``cover-up44 or ``whitewash,44 and Lungren said any insinuation of a whitewash was ``a bunch of crap.44 But the Times said it has obtained 10,000 pages of internal corrections reports and has interviewed dozens of guards, state investigators and others over the past three months to detail its account. The Times report stems from the 1997 probe that was begun in an attempt to look into the more than 50 deaths or injuries occurring at the prison between 1989 and 1995. The Times claims rival gang members at the prison were often pitted against each other in human cockfights, watched by the guards. The paper also alleges some problem inmates were purposely locked into a cell and subjected to repeated rapes by an inmate ''enforcer'' nicknamed the ``Booty Bandit.44 ^REUTERS@

This so called law is really an in justice,to all of us americans

"Eventually it was discovered that God did not want us to be all the same. This was Bad News for the Governments of The World as it seemed contrary to the doctrine of Portion Controlled Servings. Mankind must be made more uniformly if the Future was going to work. Various ways were sought to bind us all together, but, alas, same-ness was unenforceable. It was about this time that someone came up with the idea of Total Criminalization. Based on the principle that if we were all crooks we could at last be uniform to some degree in the eyes of The Law. Shrewdly our legislators calculated that most people were too lazy to perform a Real Crime so new laws were manufactured making it possible for anyone to violate them any time of the day or night, and once we had all broken some kind of law, we'd all be in the same big happy club right up there with the President . . . Total Criminalization was the greatest idea of its time and was vastly popular except with those people who didn't want to be crooks or outlaws, so, of course, they had to be tricked into it . . . which is one of the reason why music was eventually made illegal." - Frank Zappa The sad thing about this (Really, the FRIGHTENING thing) is that, even though Zappa wrote this out of sarcasm and humor, it is really coming to pass. Prisons are filling up. Is "Total Criminalization" in the future? Right now, it's distinctly possible.

My brother is no saint. His first felony-defending himself with a gun against a drug dealer(and his friends) that he informed on. He only wounded them and waited for police. His second felony-a carjacking he did not do. Even the owner of the car said it wasn't him. A witness conveniently picked him out of a six-pack( a set of six photos) He did time again. His third felony-drug dealing. He checked into a motel room with his girlfriend. They were in the process of getting an apartment together, and he was moving out of a Men's Home. Police were informed of drug dealings in that Motel. The day he checked in was the day he got a knock at the door. Police asked to search the room, to which he said sure because he had nothing to hide. The police found drugs in a bottom drawer

I have heard stories like this over and over. Society doesn't want to think about this law. Unless we are touched but it most of society feels that it's a good way to keep all criminals off the streets. They don't understand that this could effect any of us. What can we really do about abolishing this law? Is moving out of state the only way? I have a son who is due to be released in 5/00. He is a two-striker and will be 21 upon release. This law is so unforgiving and allows for no mercy. I am very frustrated!!

OK HOW ABOUT THIS...... DON'T BREAK THE LAW AND YOU WON'T GET A STRIKE.

To the person directly above this; OK, how about you never in your life make a mistake. NEVER. And just how long do you think that would work for you?? Not too long, eh?? So are you some kind of brain surgeon, or what? Stupidity is really running this planet. Before you go making posts, why don't you do your homework. I mean really, how lame and out of touch are you? I suppose you think we have all of our rights intact, and that the government really does have your best interests at heart. What a joke. Have you bothered to see why they have increased prison spending at the expense of our schools? Because there is big money in locking people up. We now lead the world in incarcerating our citizens, the PIA, or Prison Industrial Complex is in full swing. Private corporations are now running our prisons, the Correctional and Peace Officers Union is one of the biggest, and most powerful lobbies in the country. Private corporations are closing down factories, and opening them up in prisons. Effectively getting free labor, and running "free people" out of their jobs. If you don't know what you are talking about, please do the kind thing, and keep your fingers off the keyboard. Or better yet! Educate yourself. Because you never know who or what they may outlaw next... It may be you! :)

The state of Ca.is one of the most corrupt states I have ever encountered.How many of you know just what percentage of your police departments are run with 50% or more by NON-SWORN OFFICERS? These so called officers will lie,plant evidence, write false statements (police reports)commit warrantless searches of(home,property and vehicles)then take the witness stand and swear to tell the truth. We are considered GUILTY, until proven innocent. Lets not forget our local Sheriffs. I believe they are run with only 30% being non-sworn officers (or are they called non-sworn deputies?)here in Orange County California. No matter what THEY call themselves, our citizens need to start their own investigations on their local police agencies. Many of our Orange County Police Depts. have their own little TASK FORCES such as, N.E.T.( narcotic enforcement team)S.E.T. (who knows what this stands for, we'd have to ask Cypress P.D.) G.E.T. (GANG ENFORCEMENT TEAM), RUMOR HAS IT THAT THEY ARE TRAINED BY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO TRAINED L.A.s CRASH TASK FORCE,that should get all of us thinking. I don't know all of Bennie Teals circumstances about his case, but it's my belief that he didn't have a chance going up against our so called JUDICIAL SYSTEM ! thing CRASH FORCE. heir own investigations nts either. I be lieve they have 30% of non-sworn deputies on their force here in Orange County Ca.

when i first heard of this law i put two and two together. this state put this law into place just to start privete sector prision. by having fortun 500 compaines running and operating these prisons the stat will be making lots of money. it will be slave labor. no more social security to pay because those who work in the prison industries can't collect it anyways doing a 25 to life sentence. and more likley with a 25 to life your going to a level four pen. and there your chances to come out are very slim for a young man. it's all about slave labor. while i was in prison i wrote a paper on this subject and sent it as a federal complaint to the us dist.court in nothern branch of calif judge Fren Smith and she rejected my ple for help on what is a clear violation of the fith amnd. of this country const. on dubble jepority. As of date i have 6 felonys and all strikable. i got out and started my own company and never looked back and all the time i was locked down i studied and read law books.im not the most learned person but i've took the position that i am the only person who can direct my lifes path and what im diong today will be a direct result of my future. im still on parole and just last night comming home from the studio i was pulled over. the officer had no cause to pull me over other than i was going 10 miles over the speed limit. wonce they found out i on high control parole, five car back up came. the fact that he did'nt even give me a ticket but ran threw my can and person like i was really involved in a crime. but i know today as i learnd the day i steped on that war zone level 4 priosn yard that..this is a direct result of my past behavior and this is the reality of a lifes gone to waste. but the cold part of it is that we put that on are self,Yes i know the system is dias and systmaticly exclude minorties.. but what i also learnd is as a people suffer from a pyscoligcal warfair.a physcosis call anglormaticdiscocation.

The federal government has recently announced the implementation of a *TWO STRIKE LAW* They are billing this as only to be used against pedophiles and such criminals. It's the "such criminals" people should be worried about. This in effect, gives them the right to turn California's three strike into a two strike law. Come on people, what the hell is going on here? I don't want to see baby rapers out any more than the next person, but this won't affect just baby rapers, now, will it? This is well on it's way to becoming a ONE STRIKE law. Anyone, and I mean anyone concerned about their freedom should start getting scared, very scared. It's gotten way out of control, and getting scarier every day. The guy with 6 strikeable offenses, How long before they come for you like they have everyone else? The Great US of A is rapidly becoming another Nazi Germany. Be concerned people, be very very concerned...

I agree with you. I was also falsely convicted of a strike for poccession of a controlled substanse. I feel for you...and hopefully one day this BULLSHIT will be fixed.

the three strikes law is GREAT!!!!!!!!!! the only people that have to worry about are the losers who commit the crimes..........WAKE UP..........

Hmm...to the person who thinks it is great...what happens when they make something you do illegal? Bet you won't be so quick to judge and condemn, then. What happens when they make you illegal? And I take it you are definitely not any type of Christian. REAL Christians are supposed to learn tolerance, and forgiveness. I see you are just an ordinary, spiteful, petty, ugly hearted and black souled individual. I hope God shows you a lot more mercy than you show...but then, people like you with your superior perfect attitude usually ending up roasting in the darkest, ugliest most heinous pit of hell. And you know what? I hope your fire is eternal. There, I just showed you the mercy and kindness you showed others. Take your dark heart, and get back in the pit with your master! What a jerk... Oh, and PLEASE have the guts to respond, idiot. I wrote this page, and it is about someone I love dearly, so I beg you, show your black hearted face where I can really turn you into mush. What a moron. Bet there was a big shortage of family members with an IQ under their shoe size, huh? Go ahead, take your best shot, cause I will nuke you where you stand, you heartless freak.

I have so much compassion for people that have been affected, hurt, humiliated, unjustly sentenced cruely concerning the three strike law, or mandatory sentences, especially when a loved one of your own is involved. It hurts so bad. The scars and pain from this just soars so deep inside you that there is no words to describe it. I have been affected by this awful, unresonable, unjust law concerning a loved one of my own. This law lacks complete discretion, love, or balance that it can be so terribly abused by the prosecutors, cruel judges, and people in general alike who are basically ignorant if they fall prey to the belief that this heinous law could correct anything let alone criminals. What it does do is show that some people think a nation could be controlled by fear and unforgivness. There is no way on heaven or earth that this type of punishment would even come close to solving the lack of love, and understanding in the world at the present time which is what criminals are trully guilty of. Prison creates only better and more criminals the way it stands now. Rehabilitation is the only way we are going to get the world back on track. The system we have now is obviously not working. No one is perfect, and we all make mistakes. If the mistakes aren't that terrible no one should have to spend 25 years in prison for stealing a pizza or other stupid mistakes such as these. This is obviously ludicrous even to a person of an exceptionally low intelligence. If a person with such a low intelligence could figure this out, then what in the world is going on with these people in government office? Just exactly is going on? Whatever it is, which is far from good and far from what God intended life to be for us and our loved ones in pain in prison, it has to be changed immediately. This cannot continue. The truth of the matter is, from what I have read, we the people, voted this law into our existance. I believe we did it ignorantly and uneducated under the guise of discuised polititions promises, and fancy speeches without seeing the harmful long term consequences, and how this law can so easily be abused at the hands of wrong disonerable people who have no compasion or just discresion who are seeking only self gain, status, and position while ignoring who they hurt which is a world of people. Even themselves ultimately. This is ignorace at it's peak level in politics and goverment. The answer you say? Well, since we voted it in, now it is going to be harder to get out of the system. People have to group together to educate themselves, and others to the injustices, and unrightiousness this three strike law and a lot of other mandatory sentencing laws can create. So, many people are ignorant as to how these injustices can occur with these laws. They haven't had it touch their lives, or a loved ones so they just simply don't know or understand what is happening. I didn't know. I didn't have a clue until it touched my life. Before I could of sworn that the government had to be intelligent enough to run the country in the perfect proper manner. Justly, and good. Boy, was I living in a fantasy world and so are so many unknowing people. We the people, that have seen and see what has happened to our judicial system have to take action doing everything in their power to get the laws set straight. I do believe that crimes do have to be punished to a level to fit the issue and circumstances, but things are really out of hand from what I have seen and saw in the court rooms I attended. I saw cold, unfeeling, people that didn't care what happened to the person they were dealing with, who didn't care about details or balance, honerable discresion. They just seem to be following rules that didn't seem to apply to anything except ritual or tradition. It all seemed senseless. No genuine sincere heart is what I saw and these are the people that are supposed to be running our lives these days? Making omoious unsermountable decisions as to whether we, or whoever we love stays in prison for the rest of their lives leaving children fatherless or motherless or worse. It is so traumatic. I am not saying that there aren't some honerable people out there, there are. With me and my loved one recent experience we weren't fortunate enough to have them, with honor on our side with enough power to make anything worthy happen in our case. This happens way to often to people and families that don't have the funds to hire a big powerful attorney. They sadly are at the mercy of the court system, when there can very often be no mercy at all whatsoever. Very sad. It can and will change. It has to. Life cannot go on this way. Write letters, get into active groups that are fighting for a better world. Presistance, love, prayers etc. not hatred will fight this and make it right eventually. If you believe in a higher power, miracles can and do happen. With God all things are possible, but you have to have faith. :)) Gloria

The three strike and you're out law was made in response to regular law-abiding citizen's rights being violated by criminals. Greater good for the greater number of people. Hmmmmm, that works.

Whether constitutional or not, I think one must ask; why was this law passed in California? Were people sick and tired of the high rate of crime? Obviously there is some misuse of power when placing a life sentence on an individual who, for example, perpetrates a B and E. If we're talking a serious crime like murder, rape etc. then a life sentence is the only reasonable recourse a judge has.

My son was convicted on 3-Strikes in 1996, he was not given a speedy trial if he had of been he would not of been convicted on 3-strikes, because the law was not in effect when he was arrested.He will soon have served 7 years of a 25 to life sentence. His 3-rd strike was in possession of $3.00 worth of cocain. A lot of people are serving crimes not of violent nature, while rapist, child-molestors and murders are serving less sentences. WHERE IS THE JUSTICE? My name is Beverly Goins my E-Mail is beverlyj@pacific.com

I agree with that we need to find a way to punish our criminals. Especially since all of our california correctional facilities are completely full. And we are still shipping in more criminals evryday.

I think the 'Three Strike Law" should be inforced in all states and countries because the percentage of violence is going up per year and this may be the only way to stop it. I think no matter what if some one killed another person, whether he/she was drunk or not, they should get the Death Penalty. If you took some one's life then the same should be done to you!

Blatant miscarrige of justice? HAHAHAHA! Criminal Teal, Knowing that if he committed another felony or violent crime would make him a 3 time loser and elgible for a 3 stike sentence should have been walking on eggshells, not making a terrorist threat (a felony). One man did not have the power, the state of California, as voted buy its large population did. The Judge and the system worked properly. The 3 strike system works...Dont believe the crybaby liberals, lose all our rights yeah right... take your life?.... only criminals like Teal do that, not a law designed to put criminals away...remember criminal Teal is a product of the decisions HE made, THANK YOU SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE

criminals are not baseball players and each case should be handled accordingly. most of the time there are metagating circumstances that should always be taken in to consideration, nothing is that black or white. People can turn their lives around and then all of sudden something or someone does some unthinkable act to this individual that causes then to commint a crime because it may be the only thing this person can think of, They may belive they are alone in this world and do not know how to get heulp and after many great years of being a non crimial they revert back. If you are a felon some times it is almost impossible to get a good job no matter what, when you lose your self respect it is all over. Everyone needs a break, like I said though every case and person is totally different. We have all this white collar crime of the little getting ripped off and never paying for it. Don't get me wrong if they deserve it i am 110 percent behind it. But alot of these crimes are drug related and this is a sickness, needs to be treated as such.

To the liberal crybaby poster above....you are so full of s*(^$T, the law is black and white and should be. I dont care if he stole a candy bar or smoked crack, the criminal when he has two strikes should be walking on eggshells. The citizens of california have spoken...period!. If the criminal has a drug problem there are many free programs to get rid of those addictions...your liberal crybabying is making excuses for a lifestyle choice. When I was 15 and got my 1st job I didnt expect to be a CEO..I washed dishes...and slowly pullled myself up and got a better job to where I am now...same goes for parolees. Dont tell me it cant happen liberal , it happens all the time in the real world...maybe not loser liberal make excuse land.

hello, im participating in a high school debate over this issue. i found this page to be very informative, however, it would be nice if you listed the states enforcing the three strikes laaw being that that was what i was looking for!!!!!

Sounds like a bunch of crap to me. But, what where all 3 felonies that he was convicted of?

I was arrested for looking in the neighbors trash can and i was given two strikes for the same prosecution.I am innocent and yet i received two strikes for the same thing.i was not allowed to defend myself and fully cross examine,only that i was guilty when i am innocent.

I was arrested for looking in a neighbors trash can for a five cent plastic sprite bottle for recycling and i was given two strikes for the same prosecution and i am completely innocent.i was not allowed to fully cross examine and defend myself in court.my docter at the institute has said tha the state has commited a fundamental miscarriage of justice as i am innocent.i am currently seeking legal representation to notify myself of my legal options as i am completely innocent.

TO ME SOME OF THESE JUDGE'S NEED TO BE PUT IN JAIL TOO ,THE JUDICIALSYSTEM HAS JUST GONE STRAIGHT TO HELL ,ALL THE BIG GUYS UP IN THE BIG PLACESE ARE BIGER CRIMINALS THAN ALL THE FREE INDIVIDUALS ARE .I REALY THINK IT SUCKS FOR WHATE THAY DID TO THIS MAN ,IT IS ENHUMON I HOPE SOME ONE IS ON THE OUT SIDE FIGHTING FOR HIM ,WELL GOOD LUCK I'LL BE PRAYING FOR YOU .

Well i was reading some one's feedback on April 16, 2003 and they said they got arrested for looking inside some one's trashcan. I believe they desrve it because they shouldn't be invading some one else's property. They should be sent to jail for life but they need some kind of punishment. Then they got caught doing it again so you know they're looking for more then a sprite bottle. So you can't really argue about that one plus you did it again so thats on you the first time okay but the 2nd time not okay. You feel me?

What has happened to this person is so wrong. I have a boyfriend who is trying to fight a 25 to life and this is a six almost seven year case. I wasnt with him at the time but i have been to courtwith him and when the officer took the stand he had no evidence of anything no paper work or anything. But since he is a felon they think he is guilty with no evidence. we do have to do something about the 3 strikes law before it does get worse. i hope that Mr. Teal does get out because because he doesnt deserve it either.

You have the authority to harass and invoke revenge on all those fourth graders that beat you up and made you cry. People will finally act like they have respect for you. With this badge, you are invincible. Any lies you tell will now be regarded as truth. Being placed under oath to testify against a suspect means nothing to you, for you have a badge, and with it you have the authority to perjure yourself. Perjury is now nothing but a meaningless word that you and your badge are immune to. Wear your badge with pride. Never let anybody take that pride from you. Without your badge you are nothing but a criminal. Your badge makes you superior to everyone else. Without a Police Officer's badge, the wild stories you will make up to win a conviction are meaningless. With a badge they are Testimony. Some people may call you crooked, some may call you criminals. We, the fellow members of the largest organized crime ring in this great land of America, call you Police Officers. And as a Police Officer, you have the protection of the entire Criminal Justice system. From all of us on the Police Force, we salute on your accomplishment. You have earned a badge, which you may now hide behind. ~While they wallow in the trough of Government protected police corruption, I will not lay down and disregard their criminal actions. To the very few honest Police Officers in this country who choose to honor their oath to serve, protect and uphold the laws of this country, I salute you with the highest regard. To all the others, I hereby symbolically urinate on your head. You get no respect from me.

I do agree that there should be limitation on how the law should be inforced. The problem is, is that this country is supposed to be innocent until proven quilty, but its not. You are quilty and it don't matter if your proven innocent. This country tries to prove a point with people, so in some cases the innocent get punished because of it. Which is totally wrong. The people who run this country or have authority over things in our lives don't care about anything but the green stuff they stick in there pocket. The truth of the matter is, if you were to take the people that we are supposed to look up to for help, are nothing but crooks in expencive suits. This country is so great they say when this whole country was based and made by stealing other peoples homes, murdering and raping their families, even taking the words of God and turning it around so there was justification for their actions. But the funny thing about it is, is that we put these people in charge of us not relizing the damage that these great wonderful people are doing. It' is all based on lies and money. I am really sorry that you have to suffer because of their own stupidity, but the truth is if it wasn't you it would be some other innocent person because they have to convict someone to cover their own quiltiness. They say proud to be an American because we are free, ya right we are nothing but rats in a cage with them standing over us with the authority to decide what happens to us in our life. They need to stop pointing fingers because when they point there is three fingers pointing back at them. Now who looks like the quilty ones!

I agree with this because when a person has power over something like that normally they always abuse it But I was never really payed attention to this issue until I thought of it for a pursuasive essay I have to write for my english class. And its more interesting then I thought. I hope that this law will be amended. And my hopes and prayers go to all of those who are affected by this injustamente. MAry

I hear a lot of talk but I don't see any action. Why are BILLONS of dollars being spent for construction and yearly budgets on prisons and no one in office is talking about it.Are they that egotistic that they wont addmit that the law needs to be changed? Or are we just not talking loud enough? No one other then the family members and the person being effected by this law care about it. But if awarness if focused on the BILLIONS of DOLLARS it is takin to finance this law then the people will listen.

I believe this law should be amended because this law is hurting many people.

in regard to the situation that mr.teal has endured i humble send my support to him and his family. i'm currently debate this topic in my criminal justic course( africian american males in the criminal justic system) i understnad the misjustic that has happpen to you. how do this law help people whose tring to get their life back but have one little mishap over a course of nie years and place them in prison for the rest of their life. it's unfair

i know you hahhahaha

I certainly feel what your going through, because I have a daughter who is now 19 years of age who at the time this crime happened to her in July 2001, she was only 17 years old. Anyways someone else did a crime and because she was around they said accessory, so my daughter was barely sentenced May 8, 2003 and was given 2-strikes, 4 years prison time, 3 years probation, and a fine. She has never been to prison, and my thing is she was doubled sentenced, did not have the money to be represented fairly so they railroaded her and to this day Im still trying to find out what I can do because the system is unfair, especially to minorities.

I don't like the three strike outlaw! it's wrong for someone to be in jail for the rest of his or her life for nothing at all.

you have a problem with the three strike outlaw. Find God. he is the answer.

Relax, I'm a preacher's daughter. And i know from experiance that God answers prayers. He loves you he died so you and I could go to heavan. He loves you that much. Gods servant Southside Baptist Church

Hello Everyone, I have spoken to a few of you about a Proposition that will be on this Novembers Ballot, Prop 66, The Three Strikes and Child Protection Act of 2004. Many Voters who helped to pass the well known Three Strike, your out law in 1994, were unfortunately ill informed on how this law would effect non-violent offenders. Since 1994, when the law was originally passed, over 55,000 NON-VIOLENT offenders have been sentenced to 25 years to life, for a NON-OFFENISIVE Crime. The numbers are increasing yearly, which will end up costing Tax Payers in California over 700 million dollars a year to house these Non-Violent offenders. Below I have attached a brief synopsis of Prop 66. If you wish to read the whole Proposition 66 I please click the link below, which is available in both Adobe and MS word. http://www.amend3strikes.com/text.htm The Three Strikes Act of 2004 will: 7 Return the Three-Strikes law to what the voters originally intended - a law to keep violent criminals in prison, by amending the law to require mandatory increased sentences only when convictions are for a violent felony such as rape, robbery or murder. 7 Preserve the original intent of the three-strikes law so that violent, dangerous criminals will continue to be punished harshly, with mandatory sentences of double-time for a second violent felony and 25 years-to-life for a third violent felony. 7 Conform California's Three-Strikes law with those that are working well in 26 other states. Right now, California's law is the only one that applies to non-violent crimes. 7 Allow prisoners now serving Three-Strikes sentences to apply for and receive a re-sentencing hearing and as many as 35,000 could qualify for one because their offense would no longer count as a strike. 7 Save the state as much as 700 million dollars a year in prison operating costs, and more than a billion dollars for construction of new prisons. Above are only five of the many reasons that this law should be passed; I encourage you to go to the web site http://www.amend3strikes.com/default.htm Read for yourself how this law will punish VIOLENT OFFENDERS and SEX OFFENDERS, which in 1994 was the purpose of this law THREE STRIKES AND YOUR OUT The Judicial System, in California has unfairly used this law to punish non-offensive offenders. This law I should add, is also personal, my brother was sentenced to 52 years in prison for a violation of parole, he has never hurt anyone but himself. His only crime was he was addicted to drugs. But never has he hurt any human, child or living-breathing thing. Instead of the courts sending him into drug rehabilitation, to reform him, he was sentenced under the Three Strike Law he received 52 years, double life, in a maximum-security prison. With your support, these inmates can go up for a new hearing and, re-sentencing. Which does not mean if the law passes 35,000, inmates will be set free, their case will simply be reconsidered. My brother has served almost ten years, for a crime that did NOT hurt, endanger, or offend one person on the earth. He needs his case re-heard, and to be sentenced accordingly, hopefully rehabilitation, not imprisonment. I do hope, after reading my e-mail, you will take the time to educate others about Prop 66, and vote in November. Below I have added other links related to the Three Strike Law. Please vote and if your not registered then register every vote helps, every vote is a voice. It does matter; let your vote be the voice of the future. The following link is from a Newspaper release last year, this sex offend is out and he admitted to molesting over 40 boys! Prop 66 will help keep these Violent Offenders in prison. http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/6529639.htm?1c This link was an interview with a Judge that used the Three Strike Law http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/law/june96/3strikes_6-21.html From a 2002 LA times release http://www.threestrikes.org/latimes_0.html http://www.justicepolicy.org/article.php?id=396 Lastly a letter I received from my brother dated June 29 2004, Dear Larinda, Hello, I hope you and your family is doing good and in good health. I know I dont write much, fact is there is not much to speak of, my life here is like Ground Hogs Day the movie. Everyday is exactly like the one before. As you may have guessed we are once again on lockdown. Our water has high nitrate levels, so our water has been turned off for 4 days now. They are given us 24 ounce bottles of water a day and this bites. I am also writing to inform you that on the ballot this November we got the Non-violent 3rd strikers up for vote! This is really important to me. It only applies to the Non-violent offenders, the people struck out for Violent crimes are not affected, (They are a separate category) The repeal of the 3 strikes applying only to Non violent offenders, if it is passed, my case will be reheard and re-sentenced accordingly. I am happy that after 7 years it finally made the ballot! But I reserve getting my hopes up. I need your vote that is all I am asking of you. This law is wrong and anyone that looks at it can see this. You being my sister (friend) is all I have to be heard. F.A.C.T.S is an organization that got it on the ballot. Families to correct the THREE STRIKE LAW and its people like you, moms, dads, families and friends that got over 250,000 signatures, to have this law put back on the ballot, and revote. Anyone you know that votes and if they dont ask them to register and vote to repeal this part of the Three Strikes Law, would be very helpful. Thank you. Larinda, I really hope you and your family are all doing good. I miss you very much and you and yours are always in my Prayers. Take care, I love you. Your Brother, Paul

I am a younger sister who is looking to find out what i can do to help my big brother on his three strikes. He has a similare case as the one i was reading and i dont think its fare. He did change his life around baught a house and got married, and some other girl was the one who put him in prision. I need information on what i can do to help him out. I beleave that should be only for the ones that are out there with big seriose charges that are harm full tords civilians. If ever one can get together we can help each others familys.

I'am a mother of a three striker 32 yrs. My son has been High Desert state prison for 32 yrs. He had state Prison and his lawyer did nothing for 10 yrs. I spoke to a lawyer and he told me he should he told me he Mr. Tiffany should had done something within 60 or 30 days. So I guess he has to do all his 32 yrs. I want to help him but don't know how. Can you tell me if he my son can do something at this late in time. He has a hard time getting help in prison. This is his first time in prison he was 22 yrs and now he is 32 yrs. Thanks for listening to me Sara Sotelo 1590 Cembellin Dr. Hollister Ca. 95023 Thanks again Keep up the work!

I believe that the judicial system is a joke,(not funny), what I think as people who have the right to vote, we should also have a say in the behaviors of any public servant the we the people need to voice our opinions, not only comment on the laws, prison sentences, the input from the people should have just as much, if not more than one indiviual, there is way too much power tripping where there if $, ex: the judge that had to be removed due his erratic behavior, it should be mandatory that all public servants have medical and mental evaluations.The prison system needs to turned upside down,(this gang-prison employees)not all but most seem to understand that it's all about the $, anyone who thinks that it not,to prove what i say is true, GO AND INVEST IN ANY PRISON, REAP THE REWARDS.

Where can I find more information on this. I understand what you are saying, my son is now on his third strike for drugs. His second strike came when someone accused him of theft however, it was never proven he still went to jail. Sorry to say his third strike came through his own falt. My point is that during the time he was out, he received several threats of a third strike if he didn't cooperate with the issues at had. Our courts have far to much power to throw any ones life away and they do it everyday especially to the poor and the illiterate. Power should only be in the hands of our Lord.

Please vote YES on PROP 66, and tell everyone who can vote to vote so our voices can be heard!!!! Help to stop this misscarriage of justice and impliment the law as it was intended ten years ago... to keep murderers and rapests behind bars, not someone with an illness (drug addiction) my 2 cents, thank you for listening.

I think the third strike law law should be amended to violent crimes and not misdemeanors disquised as felonies.25 years to life for petty theft is insanity.

It is up to everyday working class people to vote in this up coming electon. We cannot allow elitist to decide whats best for our community and lifes. We must be pro-active and not re-active in our political, economic, social or criminal views.

i totally agree with the fact that the three strike law should be out the window. it is going to ruin a lot of lives for harmless reasons anyway. and some reason can and obviously are ridiculous ones and the power of one persons word can be misused. there are a lot of criminals out there that are in prisioned for something small and should get 10 years for it but maybe therapy or 2 years and its just getting out of control and i think it needs to be let go!!!!!!!!

I think this is insanity! I'm apolled at our laws. This should have never happened.

I think this is insanity! I'm apolled at our laws. This should have never happened.

Please reconsider your position on Proposition 66. The fundamental argument of those opposed to this narrowly crafted measure is that it will release 25,000 or more people from prison. This is a false and misleading interpretation and is based on an outrageous and distorted reading of the plain language of Proposition 66. In fact, the entire framework of the initiative's resentencing provisions refers ONLY to those who are serving 25 years to life for offenses that are neither violent nor serious. Proposition 66 will provide resentencing for only 3,500-4,000 nonviolent offenders. Furthermore, opponents' scare tactics have led them to numerous other distortions about the ways the law functions. It is not true, for example, that kidnapping is no longer on the list of offenses that trigger a strike. There are numerous examples of waste and injustice under our current Three Strikes law: --a man sentenced to 50 years to life for stealing videotapes. --a man sentenced to 25 years to life for stealing four cookies. --a woman sentenced to 25 years to life for stealing baby formula and baby diapers. Governor Schwarzenegger, I know that you are committed to a better California, an approach to government that does not waste our tax dollars, and to justice. Your decision in the clemency case of Pam Martinez, a former Third Striker, illustrated that approach, yet there are many currently imprisoned whose stories are just as egregious as Ms. Martinez's. Please reconsider your opposition to Proposition 66 while you gather more evidence and hear more about how it will really work. Below is an email that I wrote to my friends and family yesterday: I believe that we all need to vote Yes on Prop 66. The reason being is that everyone has someone either in their family or someone that they know in prison. This law was intended to keep the violent felons in prison for 25 years-to-life. NOT the men and women that have NON-VIOLENT crimes. The government states that our prisons are over populated, well of-course they are if we keep convicting the ones that have drug problems/shop lifting/ect based on the 3-strick law as it is now. They also state that California is over budgeted. Well Hell YES we are. Do you know how much money we are spending paying for the non-violent/petty crime felons to be locked up for 25 years to life based on the 3-stricks, your out law as it is now? Put yourself in their shoes for a moment. For some reason you are going through hard times and you aren't able to find work, and you past is not to good. You shop-lift baby food and diapers and now you are looking at 25 yrs to life. Doesn't make sence does it? Well it happens all the time. The Governor of California talked about cutting the correctional officers in or prisons, and he already closed one of our prisons down due to this budget crises (what is that telling you?). He also talked about changing the State workers in our prisons to regular staff! Do you know what would happen if that was to come true? I domore drugs and weapons would get into our prisons and there would be more riots. California would save millions on top of millions if we would focus on the real problems and how to help those people. Also, we would not have to cut the jobs of the correction officers if we would help out and vote YES ON PROP 66! We need all the support we can get. Plus everyone needs to know what we are really voting on! Oh yea, remember the little girl, Polly Klaas? Even her Grandparent support Yes ON PROP 66 (Three Strikes reform). Thank you for taking the time to read my email.

Perhaps the law should be amended to prevent such gross miscarriages of justice, but it is wrong to assume that it does not offer some real benefit to our society. At least one benefit of the law is that it prevents dedicated criminals from continuing to prey on an innocent public, once they have been convicted a third time. And, a criminal does not have to be violent to be cruel and vicious. A case in point is Mark Ross Weinberg from Southern California. After defrauding his victims, he enjoys causing them ongoing grief. In an attempt to dissuade victims from pursuing repayment, or contact with authorities,Weinberg threatens mayhem and physical violence, but it is his ability to penetrate his victims' computers and telephones that causes the greatest damage. He sends warnings to a victim's entire e-mail list, which appear to come from the FBI, or other law enforcement agencies, accusing the victim of being under suspicion of the very sort of crimes Weinberg has committed. He contacts thei church, office of employment and neighbors with scurillous claims about the unsuspecting victim. Weinberg has been twice convicted and served years in prison but the experience has only accelerated his criminal activity. He has dozens of new victims, but was arrested by the FBI for new frauds on Wednesday the 15th of September. Hopefully the 3 strikes law will prevent this vicious predator from shattering more lives, by taking him out of circulation permanently. Al Landry ahl4949@verizon.net

i think it depends on the crime.... what were the crimes?? what were his two stikes? i think that it does matter what he did? i have no idea what he did and what he was accused of doing(making a threat)i do believe that child molesters, rapists, and murderers do not need 3 stikes and if you do believe that they do need 3 strikes i bet you would not want someone who abused your child, your mother or sister or killed your loved one back out in the streets. i try to think about how i would feel if something like that would happen to me or someone that i love. if you mess up ok thats fine you get a second chance... what about the person that you harmed? if they were not killed then they have to live the rest of their life living with the pain. i have no problem paying for a convicted child molestors meals while he or she is in jail as long as they stay away from my kid and yours. i am aware that our judicial system has many flaws but i feel no pity for the above mentioned...

This law is just another way to lock up our brothers. People can be so dirty. 25 years of somenes life gone- just like that. that law was made for one reason only and thats to keep us in chains. They created the gang-drug lifestyle just to do this, lock us up. You dont even have to commit a crime against someone to get a felony, but you could lose you life for it? I think its unfair that felons cant vote. You pay taxes, you should be able to vote.What to do?

I hate The GOVerment

I agree with this article, the three strike law is unfair and too harsh and should be amended.So Many people are directly or indirectly effected by this law

what it is the american people are being brain washed by all levels of goverment in to beliveing there doing the right thing. WRONG

OK I have something to say! My son (22 years old) is currently in Prison for 7 years, his crimes are: residential burglary(No one was home, that is why they chose this particular residence) Grand theft auto (He stole his own car) and grand theft (For stealing something that happened to be worth a dollar amount that exceeds the limit for "petty" theft! NOT ONE of his crimes involved ANY VIOLENCE whatsoever!!!! He was never caught with a gun or any weapons for that matter, He has not hurt anyone other than himself! And for this he is losing 7 years of his young life!!!! The three strike law was pitched to us in California as a law that pertained ONLY to VIOLENT CRIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If that is true, why is my son serving 7 years for NON VIOLENT crimes? Boggles the mind doesn't it?????? And it is breaking my heart! And making me very angry! Not just for my son, but for everyone that has been the victim of this total injustice! I am putting together a petition for all of us that are AGAINST the THREE STRIKE LAW!! If you agree that it is UNFAIR and UNJUST please, e-mail me with a short not saying you agree and why you agree and your name and contact info!! PLEASE!!! The ONLY way to get any of these government officials to listen to us is to get enough signatures and/or stories about the unfairness of it all and then they will have to listen to us! PLEASE help me correct and ammend this law before it tears apart more people and families! My name is NANCI HAYWARD and e-mail me at nancis@cox.net And I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your effort and assistance in this matter! And if you are dealing with a similar problem, please let me know, perhaps together we can truly make a difference! :o) Thanks!

Bennie Teal, along with others who commit three felonies, deserved to be jailed! They have violated the law on three seperate occasions and a life of crime, as many of these perpetrators live, will not end unless they are jailed for a substantial amount of time. THESE CRIMINALS HAVE NOT LEARNED A LESSON AND SHOULD BE LOCKED UP>

my brother is in sacramento jail and is being acussed of being in someones back yard and making a threat it will be his third strike he is mentaly ill they are trying to give him 25 to life.I need someone to help us.We need a laywer and this is really not fare.If anyone can or will help please contact us .The system has to be changedPeoples lives are at stake.916 271 1436 Thank you

My brother has been in prison 2xs before. He got his life together and was doing good. My brother was on his brother property and this cop thought my brother was breaking into my other brother home but my brother had every right to be there.Before this officer even asked my brother was maced,handcuff and threw to the ground and beat. Afterwards this cop finds out from my other brother my brother had the right to be there. So then this cop decides he will try to find some other kind of charge on the brother he had maced. They tried to get him for breaking in and when that didn't work they tried to find stolen goods and when that didn't work they claim they found drugs in my oldest brother home. The place had been broken into many times and police reports were made and the law knows who broke in but won't charge the people. As soon as my brother was let go on a 20 hr. hold my brother went to the hospital for the cop had maced him and beat him. Well my brother called in the FBI and they didn't do nothing to this cop so this cop found out and made charges of resisting arrest. My brother has to do 4 years in the dept. of Corrections because he repoted a crime to the FBI and the Cop got mad and put the false charges on him. Also the ACLU was contacted but to date nothing has been done. This officer knew in the past before my brother life had changed he was in trouble and down 2xs. So this charge stuck and now my brother loses 4 years of his life and this makes strike 3 for him. Lies,corruption,beatings,maced. Noone seems to care for a Cop word is all they care about. My brother even asked for a lie detector test to prove he wasn't lying and wanted the Cop to do the same. No. That is not possible for this Cop to do this. This Cop used and played on my brother past 2xs in Prison to win his case because he was mad he was turned in to the FBI. I trusted the FBI,System,Courts,Cops but ask me now and I will tell you I don't trust the system at all. All on the word of 1 man. Freedom of speach is almost gone,our rights are almost gone. I think it is hi Hitler time.

i think the three strike law should be kept since the three-strike law has been made the crime in the united states has gone down by 9%

I Think no one has the right to decide on your life like that!! what about people that are trying to improve their lives and slip and fall a little and they have to spend their rest of their lives paying for it.

change the law!!!!! I know others who suffer from this abuse of authority.

What future is there for a 2 striker? where does this person turn for a future? Who will accept them besides their family? They are in a corner.

You are right. My hussband had two gun felonies. One day a guy named Roderick tried to rob him. He turned the tables and took the gun from this guy and started beating him. When the cops came, my boyfriend was caught with the gun. Because of hid prior record, he was charged with the weapon, and indited on all charges. Now is that fair?

I do agree with that the three strike law should be amended or atleast revised because of the effects on some of the smaller lesser crimes. i mean you could be a rapist and be able to do it three times... Go 25 for a small possession of marijuana just because its your third strike. sucks

I fell that the three law in ludacris, however i do believe that it is necessary for certain convictions of crimess. Say for instance a man convicted six times of crimial domestic violence, but gets off the seventh timee. This happen to close person in my life victimized of CDV and almost killed her. To me this type of person is harmful to our society.

what do you think having like this 3 strikes outlaw is good?

I don't like the idea that the three strikes and you're out law because it can be cruel to people because if they get in trouble when they're a kid then two times when they're an adult they will got to jail for 25 years to life
