He should have been placed in a secure facility until it could be assessed whether or not he was actually dangerous (when not influenced by others); not prison. If deemed not suitable to be back in public due being vulnerable to being influenced by others, then a secure, monitored semi-independent living facility ongoing.

Yeah I agree with this. I do believe Brendans confession was correct (although not how he was handled by his own lawyer and the officers involved) but like you I believe he was also a victim of Steve Averys (there was also the mention of sexual abuse by Brendan in a conversation to his mother)
