Arrests are made all the time for a variety of reasons, not all of them bona fide.

Which is exactly why I said ONLY people that beyond a shadow of a doubt did what they did, not only that, what is the likely hood of you getting falsely convicted of a felony, go to prison, get out, get falsely convicted of another felony, go back to prison, get falsely convicted of another felony and go back to prison a third time.

Now I am not saying that in the history of the legal system this has NEVER happened, but I doubt the prisons are overflowing with them. No I would have to say that AT LEAST 99% of the people that are in prison for life because of the three strikes law, COMPLETELY deserve to be there. Now the number of people who are in prison that don't deserve to be there either because they are innocent or did something like buy a sack of weed from the wrong person, well that is a whole different number all together.
