Assuming the report is accurate, the purpose of incarcerating this guy is not to punish him nor to reform him; it is simply to protect innocent people from further violent attacks by placing a secure physical barrier between him and potential victims. He should be provided with access to high quality mental health care, and be let out of his cage as soon as, but not until, he is reasonably determined to be not at risk to resume the violent behavior.

Wow that comment is offensive
Wow that comment is offensive on so many levels. Jokes about prison rape are never funny. This comment should be deleted.
Mental health
One can hope that this man will receive the mental health care that he needs. (note to D.A.) Nor sure that means years of prison time.
Unfortunately, given the pressures upon many of us from the pandemic, there will no doubt be an increase in incidents of such horrible behavior.
