Convicts imprisoned under California's
"three strikes" law are no more predisposed to "high-risk
criminal thinking" than other inmates, but are far more likely to be
addicted to drugs and alcohol, according to data from the state prisons
department.

The state-compiled psychological, substance
abuse and education
profiles of thousands of inmates - obtained and analyzed by The Chronicle and California
Watch - reveal that the vast majority of three-strikes inmates, including
those whose final felony was a nonviolent crime, had substance-abuse problems
when they entered prison. Some independent experts who examined the data said
California could reduce the number of people serving long stretches in state
prisons by providing more drug-treatment programs to criminals before they
chalk up their third strike.
