You dont have to be a Lawyer to see the logic of the double-jepardy arguement.

I see the three strike system, along with a the high rate of return to jail for offenders as failures of the rehabilitation system. I know other nations have a much lower return to jail rate, and they have a different approach to rehabilitation than we do. Our prisons are just big breeding grounds for future criminal behavior.
