Recommendation 25
25
Paragraph: 89
Undiagnosed mental illness and poor community support cause parole decision delays for prisoners.
Conclusion
Some parole decisions are delayed because prisoners applying for parole have undiagnosed mental illness that limit their participation in the parole application process. There are further delays due to insufficient co-operation from community mental health teams in arranging packages of services for prisoners for their release.
