Listed below are 150 California Three-Strike stories from our database. We believe it only scratches the surface demonstrating the injustice of this law. For instance, we do not receive letters from prisoners who are illiterate, cannot read English, many who are mentally disabled, those who have not heard about us, those who have heard about us but choose not to write us, and those who have committed suicide or died in prison.

All of the "media stories" are ranked based on estimated economic damages of the strikes on a prisoner's record by our computer. Presented below--in ascending order--are the top 150 stories we have gathered thus far.

If you are interested in having inmates included in our database of stories, please use our forms or find out what we want by clicking here.
