I'm from California and a victim of the three strikes law. I just turned 22 and have a strike for a burglary...that's the extent of my whole record (I did two years in state prison). My charge is petty theft with a prior ( p.c. 666 ) which is supposed to carry 16 months, 2 years or three years. The courts are trying to double that, take away my half time and add an extra year for a prior prison term. I have no violence or anything else on my record and I don't see the justice in this. I accept I did wrong, but I don't feel the need to take a possible 7 years from my life for the theft of a D.V.D. Is there anything I can do to make it through this before i turn 25?
