Mr unfit to stand trial should not be kept in hospital for period longer than the prison term of convicted man the Law Reform Commission of Canada says In report of Justice Minister Ronald Basford the commission says the Criminal Code is poorly organized and articulated in dealing with mentallinl The commission also calls for change in the publics fittitude toward the mentally The Criminal Code should have specific criteria for deciding whether an in dividual is unfit to stand trial and judges should have discretion in deciding what to do with the person In some cases where the individual is not dangerous to himself or society he could be released subject to rein dictment and trial if he becomes fit to stand trial The commission says hun dreds of Canadians are being held under lieutenant governors warrants usual ly in maximum security mental hospitals Warrants would not be necessary if judges were given discretion in dealing with those unfit to stand trial and if mandatory post aquittal hearing were held for those found not guilty by reason of insanity Soles Service Rentals Enquire torla about our excellent Stlttlliiii at wheelchairs Nillklin Iiiis iiiitiIiis and lliihpltnl
