It's tricky, would young children be distressed or disturbed seeing him walk naked towards them if they were walking on their own? My son is 12, and goes for regular walks around and about the Gorge with his mate, if they met Mr Naked Rambler may they be offended or upset, maybe so. If he walked naked through a stables with lots of teenage girls around, would they be upset or offended, maybe so. If he met me in the woods, would I be upset or offended, I wouldn't bother in the least.
As for the solitary, that was for his own good, I reckon if they put him a cell with Slasher Bates, and he insisted on being naked...........
As a final thought, if he insists on being naked in towns, bang him up. If he avoids built up areas and keeps himself to himself, leave him be, but maybe suggest to him he gets a decent coat.
