He was sentenced to "imprisonment for public protection", which is life imprisonment by another name. I don't understand why they would use such an euphemism instead of calling it what it is.

He already served his punishment, but because he has shown to be a danger to society, he is removed from it until he is no longer a danger (which may be only when he's dead or too frail to commit more violent crimes).
