Synopsis
The programme visits the mental health court pilot in Brighton and takes a wider look at Mental Health Treatment orders and the problems faced by defendants with mental health problems in the criminal justice system.
Mental health orders 'not used'
The courts are making insufficient use of the main non-custodial sentence available for addressing mental health problems, according to the Sainsbury's Centre for Mental Health, which blames a lack of confidence in health services.
