As I sit here and watch Ronald Reagan and Errol Flynn in "Santa Fe" I am struck by how lucky we Americans are that Hinckley was not successful. He should never get out. <modsnip>I'm thinking they no longer wanted to pay for his stay.

He has been on the loose for quite awhile visiting his mother. Cheaper to have him out,
I imagine his mother has the means to be vigilant. I bet she has household help
His mother is 90 years old. Does anybody actually expect a 90 year old woman to be able to monitor what he is doing?
