This paper aims to examine whether it is appropriate to divert offenders out of the criminal justice system. The paper begins by identifying what the definition of the “mentally ill” actually is, and this is followed by an evaluation of the law in relation to the mentally ill. The history of the mental health law is discussed, and the paper then examines the concept of community treatment. The paper concludes by summarising whether prison is the most appropriate route for the mentally ill offender.
