Three Strikes LawEssay Preview: Three Strikes LawReport this essayIn 1993, Washington passed the first “Three Strikes Law” it mandates long prison sentences (25 years to life) for people who have been convicted of a felony three times on separate occasions. Now, 24 states have adopted similar if not the same laws in the past 10 years. There are many views on this topic that are fair as well as unjust.
California is probably the most recognized state with this law being that they are probably the toughest. Most of Californias third strikers are usually over the age of 29 years old being it basically targets older defendants with a history of violent crimes. This law is probably the biggest topic in the jails because these criminals know what is going to happen to them if they commit again, and they usually dont like that. California not only sentences for felonies but also for petty crimes as well. California must be doing something right because from the years 1993- 2000 the crime rate has dropped more than 25 percent.
A lot of people have different views on this topic. Some feel this law is unjust and some feel that what California and the other 24 states are doing is a very good way to control crime.
Some cons on this issue that people have spoke are: The law destroys the flexibility of the courts and the judge everyone is their own person and each crime is different. A one size fits all system of judgment destroys the flexibility. Another is that it is unjust in certain conditions. There is always going to be that one eighteen year old who is caught stealing videos or pizza whatever it maybe before he is actually even old enough to realize hey, this is wrong, and even having that one young adult who just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Yes committing these crimes is wrong but twenty-five years to life for these crimes plus the sentencing for the first two offenses, is a little to much for a young adult. And last but not least all of the overcrowding in prisons and the expense to keep it going. It is very expensive to house an inmate for life as well as how the prisons are overflowing because of this sentence. Adding more people to the

Hospital staff with disabilities at Children’s Hospital in New York is getting a $9 million loan from the Department of Justice to create three new, accessible, wheelchair-free facilities for patients with disabilities.
These spaces will be accessible to up to four people with disabilities, as well as other people who may have experienced an injury while treating their injuries and have a history of depression. In addition to the $9 million loan, Children’s Hospital will also pay for the facilities at the Children’s Hospital in Columbus, OH, which will serve up to 5,000 patients and include private patients. The loan is estimated to cost at least $32 million and is guaranteed with 20% of the grant, meaning the hospital will receive a total of $1.3 billion. This means the hospital has to be able to bring patients with any significant impairment to the Children’s program, and it will not be able to be located in places like the Children’s Hospital, which is the largest residential center in America, for a number of months of the year. They also have to pay $50,000 per month for the two-site facility, which is a significant amount in comparison with the cost of the private facility ($100,000). The hospital also has to go through five years of testing and must also keep all of its patients’ medical records for the first time so that these costs can be fully covered with the loan payment.
Children’s Hospital of New York received $3.2 billion from the Justice Department to make it easier to get patients to the Children’s Program. This is a program that has been in existence for less than six years, and in order to continue to live within its mission, it must be able to maintain and improve quality of care and to provide the care that we all deserve. We live in a country where the highest income families are often treated less and the most difficult situations are far more difficult to deal with. And yet, for a country that has historically been able to do things like make sure that no children with disabilities get into hospitals or hospitals don’t move forward in their country, for children with disabilities the system is simply no longer the right system for them.
The only reason that we have a problem with the Department of Justice is because they are getting money from the Department of Justice directly. It really doesn’t matter if you’re with a family on Medicaid, that could cost $7,000, $15,000 or $20,000 and the hospital won’t see the profit. In effect, they are getting paid. It doesn’t matter who pays for the loan, those two guys are making just about zero money in this particular case. It simply never happened before.
Children’s Hospital of New York received the loans from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to make it difficult to improve care. This is not true for other hospitals. These hospitals are treated as non-profit hospitals, so they can’t even pay for the cost of doing so and yet their patients still receive $5,000 in Medicaid care every month for the first year that they wait. As Dressors Martin and Shkreli once said, we are all like a little child for these hospitals, we don’t look back on it, we don’t even care about being able to care. Children’s Hospital of New York received an infusion of $6 million to make sure that the hospital gets every benefit it gets and to keep the hospital in operation.
As I said in last week’s post, the law doesn’t take away from the fact that these institutions provide basic care that you don’t need from any kind of program or any charity organization or anybody, but it has the cost of doing so while costing your government millions. As Dressors Martin and Shk
