Ideally it'd be rehabilitating the offender, so they can rejoin society and be less likely to offend in the future.

This could mean mental health evaluation and treatment, addiction counseling, education and job training to help them learn a skill, and restorative justice.

I'd say none of these things happened in a cave.

17 years is a long time to think about what you've done, so it's very possible that he is no longer a threat to society. And if there's no evidence that he has committed crimes while living in the cave, how likely is he to commit crimes going forward?

I think it should be brought in, evaluated, and released if he no longer poses a threat.
