- Abstract:
The article reports on the impact of the three-strikes law on prison population in California in 2015. It mentions that one reason that California has found it hard to lessen its prison population is that harsh sentences are being mandated by the three-strikes law for many drug offenders. It says that there are more than 11,000 inmates in California that are incarcerated for crimes associated with drug which accounts for nearly 9% of the total prison population.
