To amend title 18, United States Code, to provide for sentencing of three strikes offenders

**Who it affects:** - People charged with federal crimes who already have two prior convictions for serious violent felonies or major drug offenses - Federal judges (who would lose discretion in sentencing these cases) - The federal prison system (which would house more life-sentence inmates) **What would change:** Currently, federal judges can consider individual circumstances when sentencing repeat offenders. This bill would eliminate that flexibility for third-time offenders, making life sentences automatic regardless of the specific circumstances of the case. **Current status:** The bill is in committee and has not been voted on by the full House of Representatives.
