Petition Identify veterans in the prison system and check them for PTSD

Veterans who have served in conflicts and who are subsequently suffering from the hidden wounds of combat related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are increasing the numbers of former armed service personnel in prison.
We therefore respectfully ask MPs to consider this issue and pass a law stating:
That any veteran, who comes into contact with the criminal justice system, should be identified as Former Armed Service Personnel at arrest or report stage - and should then be checked for PTSD.
That after arrest any veteran, found to be suffering from PTSD, can be considered to have the condition recognised as a ‘mitigating circumstance’ at their trial.
That those veterans, already in prison, should be checked for PTSD and if found to be suffering from this condition, should have their sentences reviewed.
