(in the US) Some states have what is known as "repeat offender" laws. If you are convicted of 3 or more offenses you automatically receive a longer sentence for any violation of the law after the mandated maximum.

There are habitual criminals who are constantly being arrested, being tried and convicted, being sent to jail, being paroled out or finishing their sentences, being released, and then committing more crimes, being arrested again, and so forth, in an endlessly repeating cycle. This is very costly to the public, which suffers not only the many crimes that these people commit, but the very high cost of having to constantly arrest and try the criminals; these procedures are expensive. If it appears that someone is a habitual offender, it is much more logical and efficient to just keep them in jail. Why release them just so that they will commit more crimes?

If California is a three strikes state why didn't OJ Simpson get life with no parole?

In order for the 3-strikes law to be effective there must be 2 prior felony convictions. Being accused and even having a trial does not constitute a felony. The civil trial that found Simpson guilty of causing the deaths of Nichole Brown and Ron Goldman was a civil not criminal trial and does not apply towards the 3-strikes law.
