We gain nothing with having him free, and only incur the risk of another violent episode no matter how small

A medicated de Grood is less likely to have a violent psychotic episode than you or I. If this risk is geniunely unacceptable to you, then we should all be locked up as you describe.
I don't know de Grood's medication plan but some anti-psychotics are dosed monthly via injection (performed by doctor), meaning there is no way for him to choose to not take his medication.
