I think 3 strikes refers to life without parole for the 3rd conviction. There are some very sad cases where that resulted in excessive prison terms and great cost to the state.
Isn't it possible for the judge / jury to impose appropriate sentences that may include life on a case by case basis without a 3 strike rule?
