Alvis to keep up the jailhouse rockin'

Petition to reconsider life sentence of career criminal denied

The Court of Appeal for the Fourth Appellate District has decided that Alvis J. Bailey will remain in prison. He petitioned to have his life sentence reconsidered. The trial court would have none of it. Ditto the appellate court.

Beginning at age 12, Bailey got in trouble for petty theft, shoplifting, car theft, purse snatching, and disorderly conduct. Those were followed by first-degree robbery for robbing a liquor store at gunpoint and kidnapping and escape from prison.

In 1972, he walked away from a prison camp, kidnapped a couple and their camper, held a razor blade to the wife's neck and forced the husband to drive him to San Diego. He stole a watch and $80 from the husband.

After getting out of prison for that, he had further convictions, such as possession of illegal drugs for sale, forging a name on a credit card, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of marijuana for sale, and inflicting injury on a spouse. He got his third strike for attempting to break into a market.

In prison, he got into trouble for pleasuring himself while watching a female corrections officer, battery, and several other offenses. Psychological examiners said he had antisocial and narcissistic traits, lacked a conscience, and had psychopathic traits. The trial court turned down his request for a resentencing, concluding he posed an unreasonable risk of danger to public safety. The appeals court agreed.
