Maybe don’t shoplift then.

I agree the American prison system is all geared towards filling their cells with as many poor people as possible (the ones that commit petty crimes but can’t afford the absurd bail money and end up staying in for an age) but the three strike law can work.

If someone is shoplifting because they are poor then they need to engage brain and seek financial help. The likelihood is that most of the shoplifters with 3 strikes are drug addicts...
