In this case it seems reasonable to believe that more than a few of the 12 felony convictions were for serious offenses. If "3 strikes and you're out" seems too harsh, what about 5 or 8 or 11? Everyone deserves a second chance (or third or seventh or...) but, "the thirteenth time is the charm," sounds ridiculous.

Would have no problem with having whoever made the decision to let such scum back out on the street after more than a few felony convictions join them in such confinement. Actions normally - and should - have consequences.
And, how many felonies do you reckon he's *actually* committed per each one that resulted in a conviction?
Civilization is tricky business. Having such judges make these kinds of decisions makes it far trickier - and less likely to continue.
