Georgia's three-strike law, formally known as the "Georgia Criminal Justice Reform Act of 2012," mandates that individuals convicted of certain violent felonies receive harsher sentences upon their third conviction. Specifically, if a person is convicted of three or more serious felonies, they face a minimum sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. This law aims to deter repeat offenders and enhance public safety by imposing stricter penalties for habitual criminals. However, it has also sparked discussions about its implications for criminal justice and rehabilitation.
