This legislative process was designed as an alternative pathway through the courts  for people with psychiatric disabilities and cognitive impairments who could not enter a plea or understand the criminal justice system. Unfortunately this process is having dire consequences in terms of liberty for people who are subject to its findings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">In a number of states and territories across Australia being assessed as mentally impaired and then found unfit to plead leads to indefinite detention in prisons and psychiatric units.  Despite not being convicted of a crime, detention is often indefinite because there are no alternative accommodation and treatment options other than prisons or psychiatric units.  In the Northern Territory, detention is in a maximum security prison.  In Western Australia you do not have the right to appeal the findings.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">8. What\u2019s Next in the Law?
