A "strike" is a prior conviction of a serious or violent felony. "Three strikes" is a sentencing scheme in California that dramatically increases the punishment for repeat offenders. A defendant who commits any felony with one prior strike must be sentenced to a doubled term on the current felony. A defendant who commits a felony that has two or more "strikes" must be sentenced to at least 25-years-to-life in a California State Prison.
