(1) This section applies if the board decides to cancel an offender's intensive correction order.
(2) On application by the offender, the board may order that the offender's intensive correction order be reinstated if—
(a) following the cancellation of the order, the offender has served at least 30 days of the offender's sentence by imprisonment under full-time detention; and
(b) the board—
(i) is satisfied by information provided by the offender that the offender will comply with the offender's intensive correction order obligations; and
(ii) has considered an assessment by the director-general about whether an intensive correction order is suitable for the offender.
(3) If the board decides not to reinstate the offender's intensive correction order, the offender must not make another application under this section within 6 months after the day the board makes the decision.
(4) However, if the offender believes there are exceptional circumstances, the offender may apply to the board before the day mentioned in subsection (3).
(5) The board may refuse an application under this section if—
(a) satisfied the application is frivolous, vexatious or misconceived; or
(b) the board decided not to reinstate the offender's intensive correction order within the 6-month period before the application was made.
(6)
To remove any doubt, if an offender's intensive correction order is
reinstated under this section, the period the offender served by imprisonment
under full-time detention is taken to be part of the offender's sentence
of imprisonment by intensive correction.
