If he does have to permanently live in a supervised setting, where he can still contribute to society while having strict controls over his medication and regular evaluations, then to me that would still be acceptable. My original post sounded more like "lock him up and throw away the key", though my primary belief is that someone who has shown they are capable of such a horrific crime should lose all rights of full independence and privacy permanently
