On November 6th<\/sup>, 2012 the citizens of California voted in favor of changing the golden state\u2019s Three Strikes Law<\/a>. As it originally stood, California\u2019s Three Strikes Law was enacted in order send a clear message to violators that repeating certain offenses will not be tolerated. Originally, anyone convicted of certain felonies that are considered serious or violent would receive a \u201cstrike\u201d on their record. If a person already has two strikes on their record and is convicted of violating any other crime, whether violent, serious, or neither, he or she may be sentenced to 25 years-to-life in prison.<\/p>\n

\n

Examples of violent felonies area murder, manslaughter, arson that causes great bodily injury, and robbery of an inhabited dwelling. Examples of serious felonies are murder, involuntary manslaughter, assault with a deadly by an inmate, and arson.<\/p>\n

Judges were given discretion to impose the 25 years-to-life sentence based on the facts of the case. A judge did not have to impose the long sentence.<\/p>\n

Proposition 36 was put on the November 6th ballot in order to make it more difficult to impose the 25 years-to-life sentence. The proposition requires the third offense to be serious or violent in order for a judge to be able to impose the 25 years-to-life sentence.<\/p>\n

There are many people sitting in prison now who were sentenced under the old \u201cThree Strikes Law<\/a>\u201d before Proposition 36 was passed. As a result, many inmates are eligible for resentencing.<\/p>\n

Supporters of Proposition 36 believe that it is a beneficial change to California\u2019s Three Strikes law that helps to prevent the state from wasting resources. Supporters feel that the Three Strikes Law<\/a> mandatory minimum sentencing is a waste because low-level drug offenders are sent to prison at a huge cost to taxpayers.<\/p>\n
