Offender not fit for periodic detention—extension of periodic detention period

    (1)     This section applies to an offender for a detention period if the chief executive believes, on reasonable grounds, that the offender's condition, when reporting to perform periodic detention at the reporting place, makes the offender unfit for performing periodic detention for the detention period.

    (2)     The chief executive may, orally or in writing, direct the offender not to perform periodic detention for the detention period and to leave the reporting place.

Example

the offender is suffering from a contagious disease

Note     An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).

    (3)     For each detention period of the offender to which this section applies—

        (a)     the offender is taken not to perform periodic detention; and

        (b)     the periodic detention period of the offender's sentence of imprisonment, and the term of the sentence, are automatically extended by 1 week .
