On the injustices of California's Three Strikes law and the recent changes to it

Joe Clement reads from Brent Staples's recent essay on the revision of California's Three-Strikes-and-You're Out law, which unjustly imprisoned for life many nonviolent, abused, and mentally ill and disabled people. The Three Strikes Project at Stanford Law School has been working to help those unfairly convicted and sentenced under the law. The illustration on this page is by Kevin McCloskey.
