Not Cutting It, Judge....

"I have to express public disgust of what you did and the only way to do that is to impose a prison sentence.”
I don't think 26 weeks imprisonment (which we know full well she won't serve the entirety of) really does that, does anyone?
A representative for the mental health team told the court that she is alcohol dependent and has mental health issues linked to opioid use and alcohol use.
She had previously been admitted to an acute mental health ward after overdosing on methadone, but discharged herself after a few days.
It was said she had since been under the care of the home treatment team, but she has refused to give them an address so they weren’t able to go and see her.
Why are these people left free to roam around disrupting the lives of others? Why should we ascribe 'human rights' to someone who has less self-control than an animal?

The answer to your question is easy Julia, everything is somebody else's fault.

She won't be able to discharge (what a lovely word!) herself from prison, she'll have to wait her turn!

She should be imprisoned and supplied with as much alcohol and drugs as she wants. In fact positively encouraged to consume as much as possible.

I don't know why you're complaining. This is only one step away from that blessed organisation - the National Death Service - this is "care in the community". Or, more correctly, no care and fuck the community.

I second that!

"Or, more correctly, no care and fuck the community."

Sadly true.
