A vulnerable woman with significant health issues and an extensive criminal history faced a serious risk of imprisonment after pleading guilty to shop theft charges. Through a detailed plea emphasising rehabilitation, stability, and medical vulnerability, the Court imposed a therapeutic community-based order instead of a custodial sentence.
