Does north carolina have a 3 strike rule for felons?

Answer:
3 stike XXX law is a federal law.not a state thingy

I am going to just chime in that I really disagree with the 3 strike rule, its excessive in probably the majority of the instances its used and the Prison system which is paid for by tax payers doesnt need to be overburden more then it already is.

Of course I disagree with the Criminal Justice system, inherently anyway.

Yes, almost every state does, but it's actually called a habitual offender law.

Under the federal Three Strikes rule, now codified at 18 U.S.C. 搂 3559(c), the defendant receives mandatory life imprisonment if he or she:

is convicted in federal court of a serious violent felony; and
has two or more prior convictions in federal or state courts, where at least one of which is a serious violent felony. The other prior offense may be a serious drug offense.
Under the statute, a serious violent felony includes murder, manslaughter, sex offenses, kidnapping, robbery, and any offense punishable by 10 years or more which includes as an element the use of force or that, by its nature, involves a significant risk of force. The statute also enumerates certain non-qualifying felonies, including unarmed robbery offenses and arsons that posed no threat to human life.

Unlike the federal laws, the three-strikes laws vary by quite a bit from state to state.
