The problem, as I understand it, is that low-sec federal prisons don't have segregated units for prisoners requiring protection from other inmates. Short of him serving his entire sentence in the hospital unit, his only option for protected custody would be to be transferred to a med-sec facility. That's not really an improvement in his safety.
