So this was the kid that committed the cybercrime using a fire stick while out on bail due to other cybercrime. And in this process he shows no remorse to stop doing cyber crime. And the doctors of this lifetime prison hospital get discretion on when to release him if he shows remorse? Administrative medical prison sentencing is usually fucked up and unfair, but it sounds like this kid has a path forward to eventually get released.

Is he gonna be able to play the game in the hospital?
I had PTSD after being held in a psychiatric ward for a few days. Granted this was in the US (in a major Texas city), but if the UK's mental health is anything like the US, that kid's never coming out.
I have ptsd from my experiences with nhs mental health services. This kid is going to be destroyed. My heart goes out to them, this is so incresibly unjust.

The BBC article has more details why judge rule to isolate this young man https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-67663128
The hackers sent out threatening text messages to 26,000 EE customers
... Another Lapsus$ member, who is 17 and cannot be named because of his age, was found guilty in the same trial, which lasted six weeks at Southwark Crown Court.
He worked with Kurtaj and other members of Lapsus$ to hack tech giant Nvidia and phone company BT/EE and steal data before demanding a four million dollar ransom, which was not paid.
They also stole directly from individuals through their cryptocurrency wallets.
.... As well as hacking offences the boy was sentenced for what the judge described as "unpleasant and frightening pattern of stalking and harassment" of two young women.
... The gang - thought to mostly be teenagers - used con-man like tricks as well as computer hacking to gain access to multinational corporations such as Microsoft, the technology giant and digital banking group Revolut.
... It is not clear how much money Lapsus$ has made from its cyber-crimes. No companies publicly admitted paying the hackers and the hackers did not provide the passwords to seized cryptocurrency wallets.
