If prosecutors charge you under the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA) you face mandatory minimum sentences of at least 15 years in prison.

The ACCA establishes a defendant as a career criminal if they have had three prior violent felony or serious drug offense convictions for crimes committed “on occasions different from one another.”
