SENTENCE ADMINISTRATION ACT 2003 - SECT 52

52 .         Board may make RRO

        (1)         The Board must consider the case of every prisoner who applies to be released under an RRO and may, in respect of such a prisoner —

            (a)         make an RRO to come into effect on a date specified by the Board; or

            (b)         defer the making of an RRO; or

            (c)         refuse to make an RRO.

        (2)         When deciding whether or not to make an RRO in respect of the prisoner the Board is to have regard to the requirements of sections 66B(1) and 66G(1) and the release considerations relating to a prisoner.

        (3)         In particular the Board must have regard to whether the personal safety of people in the community or of any individual in the community would be better assured if the prisoner were released under an RRO instead of at the time when he or she would otherwise have to be released.

        [(4)         deleted]

        (5)         An RRO may relate to more than one term.
