Maybe the solution is to somehow deport people who cant get the message about stealing and robbing. I dont know where we can send them, but I dont want to see them roaming MY street looking to break in. Maybe they go to some remote island where they can fend for themselves. This goes for rapists, killers perps too. Let the non violent "drug offenders" go free right now, and get rid of the illegality of drugs. The war on drugs is just stupid.

Its up to HIM to learn how to get along in society, not US. If getting locked up twice didnt give him a clue, he wasnt going to get the message by being let out again. We dont need someone like that roaming the streets.

May he NOT rob you now that he is free.

BS. He was a serial thief and robber, and obviously would have just continued doing the same if allowed to roam the country. You must be some sort of liberal snowflake to even think this.

Well, its unfortunate we had to pay for all those years in prison, BUT, that said, he was a habitual offender and probably would have gone on to rob and steal again and again if he were let out. God knows how much he robbed and stole and didnt get caught. He only got caught three times.

I have no pity for someone like that. It used to be that a person like that would be expelled from the country into some remote place like Australia and left to fend for himself. Unfortunately, the liberals would never allow that now.

Robbed a bakery at Knife point.....Not exactly a Choirboy. That detail is not in the headline. I suspect he will now be on welfare the rest of his life....but that will at least be cheaper than jail. Three strike laws are a response to the incompetence of the authorities to control crime at an earlier stage. The citizenry gets tired of scumbags like this making their lives miserable...but from an economics and practicality viewpoint we need to find alternatives and those include getting harsher on minor offenses and send young offenders to hard work details or Youth offender boot camps rather than prison. Prison is too expensive. If this scumbag had received harsher treatment for the probably 20 misdemeanors he perpetrated before his felonies...instead of getting a slap on the wrist....he may have never committed a felony. It would also help if the welfare system didn't incentive fatherless. I lay a dollar to a doughnut the perp here has no daddy! That boys and girls is the fault of the do gooder welfare system which produces hyper masculine young hood rats that rob bakery's at knife point.

I watched 1,700+ inmates at one time or another. Posts were rotated. During my last 8 years they had me on the back gate tower a lot. One hell of responsibility there and you could lose your job so easily. A lot don't mean all the time.

What I was getting at is does a guy that stole 50 bucks deserve that much watching? or, as I asked, did you watch everyone like that.

OH...PS...MEMES UP!

Under the Alabama three times you're out for a felony count law, if your third felony was a first degree murder, the least you wold get would also be life without parole.
Now if your third felony was stealing $50, it's supposed to be nice that you would not have to worry about death row while you rotted away in prison for the rest of your life never tasting steak, baked potatoes and fried chicken ever, ever again. Watermelon? Forget about it. Lobster? Don't make me laugh!

If you did That for a guy that stole 50 bucks...what did you do for a guy that killed, raped, mangled or manipulated people....Or, is that what you did for all the prison population?

Yep!

His life was legally stolen from him. Very sad.

Me too. He never gave me dino any trouble I can recall. Think maybe he once got mixed up in some minor something I'd otherwise more clearly recall.
He was sent from the cell blocks to the dorms where the less troublesome inmates were "warehoused" among rows of "racks" (what we called their bunks there).
Inmates also called the Alabama felony "three strikes your out" law "the bitch law."

Wow! That dude got screwed. He was 18 and headed down the wrong path, but he could have been helped at that point in time. Locking him up forever...terrible. Glad he's finally out.
