Board inquiry—management of periodic detention

    (1)     The board may, at any time, conduct an inquiry to review an offender's periodic detention.

    (2)     Without limiting subsection (1), the board may conduct an inquiry to consider whether periodic detention is, or would be, suitable for the offender.

Examples

2     the history of managing the offender under periodic detention

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)     To remove any doubt, the board may conduct the inquiry—

        (a)     before the start of the periodic detention period of the offender's sentence of imprisonment; and

        (b)     in conjunction with any other inquiry under this Act in relation to the offender.

    (4)     The board may conduct the inquiry—

        (a)     on its own initiative; or

        (b)     on application by the offender or the chief executive.
