      I think the real problem (and not saying I agree, just the motivation of the legal system) is that he keeps saying he intends to keep breaking the laws he’s been convicted of.

      In most countries, that doesn’t go down well.

      Having said that, this is a stealth whole life tariff. These should be reserved for the most heinous crimes. The sadistic/multiple murderers and the like. Not compulsive hacking.

        Yeah people like to ignore the part where it says something along the lines of " he will stay in prison hospital for life or until a doctor determines he isn’t a danger to himself or society."

          I think the problem is that once institutionalised, it can be very hard to get out.

          But also it’s quite important to remember they’ve determined he’s a danger to society because he won’t stop hacking. If that’s the bar they’re testing for, maybe it’s a long wait in store.
