In reply to the Hon. F. PANGALLO ().20 February 2024).

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector): The Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services has advised:

Pursuant to section 37A of the Correctional Services Act 1982 (the act), release ordered home detention (ROHD) is a placement option within the prison system.

ROHD is considered as part of sentence planning and the case review process.

In relation to ROHD, a prisoner's suitability is assessed following the formulation of a prisoner's Individual development plan and consideration of their eligibility.

ROHD is a provision for offenders to live and reintegrate in the community under strict supervision, with conditions of electronic monitoring at a nominated location.

ROHD is at the sole discretion of the chief executive (or delegate) for Department for Correctional Services in accordance with section 37A of the act.
