Default Ken Kifer's Murderer Still Behind Bars

I'm a bit curious about how other developed societies and legal systems
handle such a thing.

To review: IIRC, he was a person with a long history of putting
innocent people's lives at risk, over and over. He was jailed for this
- itself unusual, indicating a serious problem. Within hours after
release, he repeated the same offense, this time killing an innocent
person.

And, apparently, he behaves badly enough in prison that the legal
system decide he can't be rehabilitated.

Do other societies say "Oh well" and turn him loose on their citizens?
