“1. Ecker is to spend at least six months in the general population at MCFP Springfield. 2. Ecker is to be transferred to a facility operated by the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health (“DMH”), most likely the Worcester State Hospital (‘WSH”). 3. During the time that he is housed at WSH, Ecker is to comply with certain specific conditions, including a. voluntarily to continue his medical treatment, b. to refrain from the use of alcohol or illegal drugs, c. to abstain from owning or possessing firearms, d. to abstain from any contact with previously identified female victims of unwanted attention, etc. 4. For an indefinite period of time following his release from federal custody, the United States Probation Department is to assist the DMH in monitoring his compliance with all conditions of his release. 5. If at any time Mr. Ecker violates the conditions of his release, he is to be returned to federal custody.”
