He been institionalized for close to 7 years and in that time has not had another psychotic episode. He's been a model prisoner and his meds seem to be working.
Escorted day passes for where he can work would be as far as I would go. His medication needs to be constantly monitored to be sure he's taking it.
I just don't see the value in locking him up for life. It further stigmatises his illness and might prevent those who think they might have it from coming forward.
