ARE U SERIOUS ???????????
3 MINUTES REFLEXION MADE ME THINK : Strange that there is not a flow of people leaving the country for the reason to risk facing those sentences.
Are these people being conscient of the risk they are facing when they are breaking the laws a few times???
GL’s answer explains it, but yeah having two strikes in a state has now effect on another state, so you get two felony convictions in your home state upon getting out of prison the second time an individual will likely move to a new state where they now have a clean slate. This works well for O.G.s or “Original Gangsters” who have respect and a higher up position in their gang, they can easily get set up with a similar position in an affiliate gang 500 or 1000km away.

I think some states of the USA have had those laws since Reagan was in power;
although as its not the entire country where this happens those who might have committed two crimes simply move to a state where they don’t have such harsh penalties rather than emigrating as a whole (they may not have travel documents or be able to learn different languages).
The whole way the law works in America is highly confusing to anyone else due to the concept of legislators being alllowed to pass different criminal laws within regions (but it is also why marijuana is legal in some states but not others).
