From what I know of Gladue reports, I think a recent article said that about 80% of the time they're just ignored or they're not implemented by the courts. More often than not, Gladue reports are written not by somebody who's trained in Gladue writing. They're written by the same parole officers. Once a person is convicted of a crime, is already sentenced and in prison or in jail, a Gladue report is then written on them. It was my understanding that the Gladue report was meant to be written after they're arrested and before they get sentenced or before they have a trial. That needs to be implemented if they're going to be effective at all.
