Only Corrective Services NSW can assess and select offenders as suitable for the Reintegration Home Detention (RHD) scheme.
RHD is a highly structured and monitored step-down between prison and parole which allows eligible and suitable inmates to be electronically monitored 24/7 under home detention (house arrest) for the last six months of their non-parole period.
In addition to electronic monitoriing, these inmates must also comply with strict conditions, including submitting to alcohol and drug testing, participating in rehabilitation programs, employment and in community service programas as directed by their Supervising Community Corrections Officer.
The State Parole Authority has no role in the selection process of inmates for RHD but is required to approve applications.
Inmates or their legal representatives cannot apply for RHD.
The RHD legislation specifically excludes inmates serving life sentences, high risk sex or violent offenders and those sentenced for terrorism or domestic violence offences.
