I don't know, but I expect you are right. And I guess that's the point - I'm 'arguing' something I really have no idea about. I assume statistics suggest he is no greater risk, as do the experts treating him. So yeah. We release most criminally responsible offenders unconditionally, simply at a date.
I'm just not sure monitoring is an undue restriction on his liberty, in this case, given history. But I guess it probably is?
