Also, I think we can agree that providing a judge with as much information as possible is always a good thing. These are the people who are intimately acquainted with the offender, the crime they've committed, and the circumstances. To arm a judge with a report on the mental health status of an offender is a good thing.
However, I think there's another part that we're missing here. It may be all well and good to provide the judge with that information in a pre-sentence report, but are you confident that if the judge is then armed with that information we now have the resources in our community that would allow the judge to make a decision? Or will this judge still only have a correctional facility to use?
