Amended

Last amended by an amending law of 2022.

(1)

If a Superintendent has reason to suspect that a prisoner has failed to comply with any of the conditions of the home detention order, or has committed any offence while being subject to a home detention order, the Superintendent may —

(a)

make such inquiry as may be necessary to ascertain whether the prisoner has failed to comply with any of the conditions of the home detention order or committed any offence while being subject to the order; and

(b)

recall the prisoner to prison pending the completion of the inquiry.

(2)

The period of the home detention order of a prisoner who is recalled to prison under subsection (1)(b) continues to run, despite the fact that the prisoner is recalled to prison, unless the order is revoked under section 57 or suspended under section 58.
