(Two Strikes)

Content: Mark Jones, a former West Point cadet struggling with PTSD and alcoholism, got life in prison in Florida after an attempted carjacking under Florida’s “two-strikes” law. Such statutes result in mandatory maximum sentences, including life in prison, for crimes in which no one is injured. Florida’s is among the strictest, but many states have similar laws that increase prison time for repeat offenses.
