Abstract
Part I of this Comment will provide a brief historical background of Florida's sentencing guidelines and present an in-depth analysis contrasting various "Three Strikes You're Out" laws throughout the nation and the Florida Act. Part II will discuss certain conflicts which may result from the passage of the Act. Part III will discuss future impact on issues such as increased workload, prison overcrowding, and the shifting of discretionary power from the judiciary to the prosecutor. Finally, Part IV will propose alternatives to further the goals of prevention and incapacitation.
