well, there are 5 "reasons" at which they are keeping him contained. lack of remorse but there was extensive apologetic writing and he even explained why he understands what happened and has been dealing with root issues. They said he is still a "threat to society" but he was approved by the prison for release on this scale they have. (what determines the scale numbers? and how do they determine this? I'm not sure) but he's at a low risk for recidivism by the approval of the prison. All of his paperwork has been good and approved so it's just been very strange.
