Corrective Services Act 2006

This section applies if the chief executive, under section 175F, gives the president a restricted prisoner report.

The president must—

if a restricted prisoner declaration (the current declaration) is in force for the prisoner—decide whether to make a declaration (a new declaration) about the prisoner to take effect on the day immediately after the day the current declaration ends; or

if there is no restricted prisoner declaration in force for the prisoner—decide whether to make a restricted prisoner declaration about the prisoner.

As soon as practicable after being given the restricted prisoner report, the president must give the restricted prisoner a written notice stating that—

the president has received the report about the prisoner; and

the president must decide—

if a current declaration is in force for the prisoner—whether to make a new declaration; or

if there is no current declaration in force for the prisoner—whether to make a restricted prisoner declaration about the prisoner; and

if a restricted prisoner declaration is made about the prisoner, the prisoner may not apply for parole under section 180 during the period stated in the declaration; and

the prisoner may, within 21 days after the notice is given (the stated period)—

give the president a written submission about the making of the declaration; and

ask the president to consider any material the prisoner considers relevant to the submission.

The president may extend the stated period if the president considers it reasonable in the circumstances.
