Three Strikes Law
Dear Aiden, I am Carol Li. My school No:2092200064. Three Strikes Law Should Support or Not? About this question in fact, I am following with the three-strikes law. I think when a person commit a crime over and over. It means he has addiction of crime. The three-strikes law is reasonable because it gives people more than twice opportunities to improve themselves. So, when the person is a three-striker, he should be locked up for his whole life. On the other hand, judges and prosecutors must be judge prisoner carefully, especially other cities or countries because they may have different behavior or nationality of local people.

Three Strikes law
Three Strikes law
Dear Aiden, I am Rick. My school number: 20921200097. In my opinion, this three strikes law can make the criminals stay in cold. Why I say that? Because, if you do it three times of any crime things, you will stay in the jail for 25 years. But is other way. If you just steal litter things for three times. You will be using this three strikes law. For this nonviolence criminal. I think is not fair. Because is just steal things not killing. |

Three Strikes law
Dear Aiden, I am Eva. My school number:2092200084 In my opinion, I think that the Three Strikes law shouldn't be used to send nonviolent criminals to prison. There are three reasons. Firstly, the Punishment must be in proportion to the crime. Secondly, because the law increases the length of sentences, it has raised the average length of stay for the prison population. The government needs more money to build new prisons, and as inmates age, the cost of housing them increases due to age-related illness and the associated health care costs. Finally, it will make the high tax for the citizens. There are no advantages between the government and nonviolent crimes. In conclusion, it's a very severe law, the one that takes away a person's freedom for life. It's not something to be applied just because we're mad at bad behavior. Only violent crimes are serious enough to warrant such a drastic sentence. To play the message, click on the 'Play Message' button below. lee |

The Three Strikes Law from Doris
In my point of view, I don't believe that nonviolent criminals should punish by sending them into prison for rest of their lives. Yes, they made a mistake that is for sure. But they don't have to pay for rest of their lives to regret and correct their mistakes. Most of criminals grow up in a bad condition. They made a mistake when they were young. Sometimes they want to have brighter life, but there are too many temptations, or the environment limited that causes the criminals did it again and again. Put them in the jail is not a best way to them. They also need someone to help them to go the right way and support them after they go back to the society. Maybe some of them will do it again and again. But I still want to believe that the human nature is goodness. To play the message, click on the 'Play Message' button below. Doris |

3 Strikes Law
Dear Aiden. I'm Charlie. It's glad to have another special experience of this recording assignment. I think it's not appropriate to send the nonviolent criminals into jail for their whole life because they didn't commit a very serious crime. Therefore, I suggest the government may put those nonviolent criminals in jail for an extremely long period of time instead of a whole life, or they may assign them to help our society. For instance, the prisoners can help cleaning the street or use their talents to do some help. These are my opinions. Thank you very much!

Dear Aiden,I am Rachel. My school NO: 2092200078. About this question,my answer is I agree with the three strikes law should be used to send nonviolent criminals to prison for the rest of lives. I think everyone should be punished for their faith. The most important thing is that they've got the chances for twice,if they do the same thing on the third time.That's mean they're didn't think that's wrong and maybe they will be violent criminals next time.

Recording voice for Assignment of Three Strikes Law
Hi Aiden This is Sylvia. First, I apologized that I could not record and send my voice to answer the question of Three Strikes law. Therefore, I send my opinion on your blog. In my person opinion, I half-and-half agree that nonviolent criminal should be send prison for the rest of their lives. If someone were the first of nonviolent crime, he or she would need one more chance to mend his or her nonviolent behavior. On the other hand, if the nonviolent criminal were a recidivism, the criminal 100% should be used to send to prison for their rest of lives. Even though nonviolent criminal could not harm others people's life, however they bring the alarm of abashed for the people who live nearly with he or she. In brief, in the different situation, using appreciated law is justice for nonviolent criminals. Sincerely, Sylvia To play the message, click on the 'Play Message' button below. Sylvia |

Dear Aiden, I'm Stacy. It's time for us to practice both of our oral and computer skills again. I agree with that the Three Strikes law should be used to send nonviolent crimianls to prison for the rest of their lives even they're nonviolence criminals. Because of they've got the chances to amend crime for twice. If they do the same thing on the third time. That means they never deem they are wrong. They have to pay the price for that. That's no excuse to send them free. To play the message, click on the 'Play Message' button below. Stacy |

The Three Strikes law
Dear Aiden, Hi, I am Karen Lin, I have tried again and again to record my voice, but the microphone doesn't wrok. Therfore, I can only write my opinion to you, I am so sorry, I am not good to computer. For the Three Strikes law,I think the nonviolent criminals should be send to prison for the rest of their lives, because if the judges just send them to prison for few years, once they get free,they seldom repent and start anew, they usually offend again and again. Moreover, they may commit a high crime and bring more problems to the society. I believe finally,the Three Strikes law will deter the nonviolent felons. If the government cannot think a best way to solve the problem that how to stop the nonviolent felons. We have to ust Three Strikes law to punish and deterthem.
