Congrats. You are lucky that the guy is in jail you know. Where I live, (WV) they have a three strikes law for repeat felony offenders, but it has no teeth and the prosecutors seldom even try to use it to keep these types of vermin in jail.
Right now, one community in my county is up in arms over a guy who has been getting arrested and released (on felonies) every month since last October. Last time, his dad bonded him out. Time before that, the regional jail decided to let him go as it was overcrowded and they (no joke) wanted to make room for drunk drivers.
Another community in my county is up in arms over another repeat felony offender who has been in and out of jail montly for two years now.
I think many communities are like mine, in that if they would just lock up about a dozen guys, 98 percent of your crime rate would go away overnight.
