Wikipedia definition
2. Three strikes law​Three Strikes Laws are statutes enacted by state governments in the United States which require the state courts to impose a life sentence (usually with the possibility of parole) to persons who have been convicted of three or more serious criminal offenses. These statutes became very popular in the 1990s. Twenty-four states have some form of habitual offender laws. The name comes from baseball, where a batter is permitted two strikes before striking out on the third.
