The medical team for Joey Wiebe told a criminal review board he should have all his privileges revoked and should be placed in maximum security.
Wiebe was found not criminally responsible due to a personality disorder for the murder of his stepmother in Niverville in 2001.
He's been housed at the Selkirk Mental Health Centre, but staff recently found a knife, lover letters from a student nurse, alcohol, drugs and fake ID above the ceiling tiles in his room. He was arrested and placed in the remand centre following the discovery.
Wiebe told his psychiatrist the knife was for his own religious rituals, saying it helped him to focus energy and empower himself.
On Monday, his medical team described him as narcissistic with borderline personality disorder, with above average intelligence and the ability to manipulate others.
Wiebe represented himself at the hearing and told the board he gets more freedom in jail than in Selkirk and described the facility there as a dungeon.
His medical team also suggested the possibility of transferring Wiebe to an out-of-province facility.
The board will make a final decision in the next few days.
