“I did time for eight parole violations,” said David Lee,

“I did time for eight parole violations,” said David Lee, 40, from San Fernando Valley. Lee’s life is shaped in part by #California’s “Three Strikes” law, enacted in 1994, which imposes a life sentence for a wide range of crimes upon people who have two prior convictions considered “serious” by the state. Lee is one of those people. “I have two strikes so I realized that I have this last chance before I wind up with a third strike and go away for life. That is why I came to the Walden House. This is it for me! I am still here.” Picture made by Joseph Rodriguez, @rollie6x6, for @everydayincarceration
