4. Maybe every day they should have him start running outside, then hit him with a beanbag in the back.

Day in, day out, start running, get hit by a beanbag in the back.

Take a video each day, show it to him at night.

Rinse and repeat.

Of course it's sadistic, but it's a pleasant fantasy about a true monster's fate as I'd like it to be. Every day he will remember he used real bullets when he shot someone else in the back.
