60 minutes. 3 strikes
Description
California's three-strikes law is considered the toughest in the country on repeat offenders. It says that if someone commits a third felony after two similar ones, the sentence is a mandatory 25 years to life in prison. One such case is that of Leandro Andrade who received two 25-years-to-life sentences after stealing $154-worth of children's videotapes. Dan Rather reports.
