Supervised release order, when can be made
133 Supervised release order, when can be made
A supervised release order can only be made if —
the offender consents to the making of the order; and
the earliest release day has been reached; and
the Board has considered any statement received from a victim of the offence in respect of which the detainee is in custody; and
there is a responsible adult present or the Board considers that there is sufficient reason for it to make the order even though a responsible adult is not present; and
the offender is not in custody under any other order or serving any other custodial sentence, or the requirements for releasing the offender from custody under that other order or sentence are satisfied.
If the offender unreasonably fails or refuses to make available information that is requested for the purpose of satisfactorily determining the conditions to be specified in the order, the making of the order may be delayed beyond the time when the order could otherwise be made.
In this section —
victim of an offence, means —
a person who has suffered injury, loss or damage as a direct result of the offence, whether or not that injury, loss or damage was reasonably foreseeable by the offender; or
where the offence results in a death, any member of the immediate family of the deceased.
