He's highly autistic and currently doesn't seem to understand (or care, also a possibility) that committing cybercrimes are something you shouldn't do. The metric for keeping him in the secure hospital is based on him wanting to return to committing cybercrimes.

This is why he was committed, not because he hacked Rockstar. Lesson 1, don't commit ransom; lesson 2, failing lesson 1, don't get caught; lesson 3; failing lesson 2, don't commit dozens of violent acts while in custody
And if the "wrong" thing is wrong in a fascist country it's a danger that you would not be able to stop yourself from speaking out about it or worse, not know it "wasn't OK to talk about" while all the neurotypicals did because of some unspoken body language code you also struggle to accurately read.
So you speak out and the secret police take you away because of what you said. Is this a fair representation of what you were meaning?
You saying something isn't illegal. You're not going to be put in prison (or a hospital) for life for saying something.
I see in your other post that you think hacking businesses may be completely justified. That's fine; you can think that. But you understand that there are laws against it, right? And you can expect the laws to be enforced, whether or not you personally think the laws are justified (or even right)?
You may think in terms of civil disobedience. That's your choice if you want to go that way. But that's your deliberate choice, not just some random thing you do ruining your life.
Why on earth would they allow him these things?
Poor kid.
So much wasted potential all because of a society unwilling to accept while this guy got convicted the perps involved with Mt. Gox and SVB never saw the light of day.
Secretly rooting for this kid to get out and topple the government.
You should read the article, the video leak has absolutely no bearing on the sentencing. He was part of a hacking group that ransomed the major telcos, and when arrested was violent.
He is currently being held for his and other people's safety, the sentence for life is "until doctors feel he is no longer a violent risk to the public".
Every autistic interaction I've ever seen with police has ended up with the police making some obvious mistake that made it impossible for the autistic person to react "properly". They always say confusing things, and they bark their orders over and over really fast so you can't think straight and thus can't follow their orders fast enough. You make one "wrong" step and they think it's okay to start touching you, something that makes many autistic folks involuntarily react in ways that can seem violent but often aren't violent at all.

What he did isn't even some great big evil thing, he just hacked some corporations. There are plenty of neurotypical people who do the same thing. Governments too. A decent chunk of the world holds these entities to be pure evil and view attacks against them as totally within reason.
Here in the UK we take this seriously. Yes, police are actually trained.
The police drew their guns and the autistic person and the person calming them laid on the ground and complied. Somehow, the police fired at the calming person and hit them. I believe they survived but it's crazy over here.
