I think it's true that there are too many people who have mental health issues who end up in custody, but the answer isn't to then extract this mental health information from them. The problem with people who sort of duck under the NCR system is that once they're in that system, they could be hospitalized. I have clients who've been hospitalized for a decade for theft. Once they're in there, it's hard to get out, so a lot of individuals choose not to go that route, even though they probably are NCR, and they end up here.
What I'm trying to say is that it's up to the accused. If the accused want that mental health help, they should volunteer to get it, but if they don't want it and just want to do their sentences, they should be allowed to do that too, because again, it's their health.
