no, it's just any three felonies. After the third one, you have to stay in prison for a loooooong time. doens't matter what type of felony or if it's a violent crime or not. California is notiruous for the three strikes rule.

In Indiana there is a law called "habitual offender". And yes , the offense's have to be of the same nature.
I.E.--Three drug felonies, or three thefts, on and on .
But the punishment varies from class of offense ...
Say if you have Three class "D" felonies, then the most time can only be the "least "amount of time for the next class of felony offense Class "C " felony(2years to 8 years) and so on ...??Class "C habitual offender would do the time of a class "B" offender (8years To 20) and so on" The facked up part is they add it on to the end of the sentence you last were convicted of (Time to be served Consecutively)

Three strike laws vary from state to state, but, generally, no.

no- usually they just have to be 3 felonies- it doesn't matter if they are completely different felonies.
