Until someone ends up getting killed.
Then we get "Oh well, the system failed", and it continues, or, if the felon uses a firearm, they call for gun bans, and then it continues.
The Detroit News: Wynter Smith kidnap suspect had run-ins with multiple police agencies in recent years
Note that this example of a career criminal not only stabbed his ex, but also is the #1 suspect in the murder and dumping of the body of her two-year-old daughter.
The man accused of abducting a 2-year-old girl found dead Wednesday on Detroit’s east side after allegedly sexually assaulting her mother has a violent criminal past that includes domestic violence, assault, and resisting and obstructing police in at least five Michigan counties, court records show.
Note the multiple convictions and the multiple times he keeps getting let out, even after serially violating probation and having a track record for assaulting police officers and resisting arrest:
The records show Trice was first sentenced to 224 days in jail for domestic violence and attempted resisting, assaulting or obstructing a police officer in Monroe County stemming from a May 23, 2021 arrest.
A week later, on May 31, 2021, Trice was arrested for obstructing police in Clinton County. He was sentenced to attempted assaulting, resisting and obstructing police and was given a year in jail for that offense, records show.
But in August 2021, he was again charged with assault and obstructing Michigan State Police in Livingston County, according to court records.
After that incident in Handy Township near Fowlerville, Trice pled guilty and admitted in court records that he "fled two police officers in a motor vehicle, assaulted two officers w/ a motor vehicle, resisted/obstructed 2 officers and operated a motor vehicle w/o a license," according to Livingston County court records.
A Livingston County judge sentenced Trice to two years of probation in January 2022 for fleeing police, felonious assault and assaulting, resisting and obstructing police. Trice pled guilty to six counts in that case.
Trice was again arrested less than three months later by Lansing police for fleeing police and misdemeanor assault, court records show. He was sentenced to 93 days in jail in April 2022 for that offense.
Time and again he was released, and he then went off and committed more violent crimes, for which he was again released.
Now, had his probation in January 2022 been revoked after he violated it by committing crimes three months later for just the one incident alone, and put in jail for that time, he would still have been in jail today and would have been unable to stab his ex and kill her 2-year old.
But he was released yet again, and committed more crimes, and now has a murder on top of the rest of his long list of other violent crimes.

Where I live, Alachua County in Florida, if you violate multiple probations and paroles usually the judge just suspends the previous probations and paroles and puts the offender on... probation or parole. Violent felons, drug trafficking, you violate and you get nothing.
I've seen where high level drug traffickers get drug court like a first time user does.
Does any of it work? Nope. Well, it gets the judges and state attorneys a solid voting block from the section of people whose family members are doing all the violating.
I am going to go out on a limb here & guess that "The man" was holding him down.
So it's not his fault.
First the MSU shooter gets off easy on a gun charge & kills.
Now this guy kills a little girl.
How many more need die because of our revolving door (Lack of) justice system?
Beans: Yep, it's amazing how certain multiple offenders keep getting kid-glove treatment and are repeatedly released in the name of social justice or what-not.
ccm2361: Unfortunately, given the Left's current vogue of being against "mass incarceration", cash bail, and actually interdicting crime by putting criminals in jail or prison so they can't commit more crimes, the answer is sadly many more.
