Request for immediate suspension of parole order
208A Request for immediate suspension of parole order
This section applies if the chief executive reasonably believes that a prisoner the subject of a parole order—
has failed to comply with the parole order; or
poses a serious and immediate risk of harm to another person; or
poses an unacceptable risk of committing an offence; or
is preparing to leave the State, other than under a written order granting the prisoner leave to travel interstate or overseas; or
poses a risk of carrying out a terrorist act.
The chief executive may, by written notice given to the secretariat, ask the parole board to—
suspend the parole order; and
issue a warrant for the prisoner’s arrest.
The notice must state the grounds on which the request is made.
