Yes. When correctional services receive an accused who has been given a sentence, they have to look to see whether the judge has expressed any reservations or documented any problems. If so, they have to take them into consideration when the sentence is administered. In that case, clearly there would be a benefit. However, we feel that we cannot put all our eggs into that kind of basket in an attempt to solve the problem. It is always better to be proactive.
