Leo Lincoln has made a series of bad decisions since losing his job two years ago. In the past two years, he has been arrested three times for various crimes, including drug possession, possession of illegal firearms, and most recently, aggravated assault. He also has spent much of the past two years either in jail or on probation. At his sentencing hearing after his recent conviction for aggravated assault, the judge sentenced Leo to life in prison as a result of laws in the state of California which call for the doubling of the sentences of felons who have two prior convictions for serious crimes. Laws that incarcerate habitual offenders like Leo for lengthy periods of time are based on the premise that:

B. these offenders will be more useful in prison because they can work in a prison job. C. it will cost less to house them in prison than arrest and prosecute them each time they commit a crime.
