Cruel and Unusual investigates the historic change to California's Three Strikes Law, which was the harshest sentencing law in the United States. The film tells the personal stories of three individuals sentenced to life under the law for minor, non-violent crimes, including writing a bad check, shoplifting a VCR, and taking a slice of pizza.
