Santos Reyes (prisoner)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Santos Reyes is a prisoner at Folsom Prison in the state of California who became a focal point of an effort to overturn the state's three strikes law.[1][2][3] The case has attracted widespread media attention, including coverage in the Los Angeles Times,[4] the San Francisco Chronicle,[5] Reuters,[6] the Pasadena Weekly,[7] and elsewhere.[3][8][9] It has been hailed as a particularly egregious example of how California's three strikes law has led to the "incarceration of thousands of victims indicted on relatively minor charges."[3][8]
