Reinstating an Intensive Correction Order (ICO)
If your ICO has been revoked, here’s what you need to know about applying to have it reinstated:
1. Time in Custody
- You must spend at least 1 month in prison before you can apply to have your ICO reinstated.
- The Parole Authority won’t schedule a review hearing for reinstatement before this time.
- This gives you or your lawyer time to prepare your application properly, without needing a delay.
2. If You Reoffended
- If your ICO was revoked because you committed a new offence and you’ve been refused bail, the Parole Authority won’t consider reinstating your ICO until all your new court matters are finished.
3. Reports from Community Corrections
- If your original ICO did not include a work condition or home detention, the Authority does not need a new report from Community Corrections to decide on reinstatement.
- But if the Authority is thinking about adding work or home detention (even if it wasn’t part of the original order), they must wait for a new report from Community Corrections before making a decision.
4. What the Authority Considers
- The Authority must be confident that you can successfully complete the rest of your sentence on an ICO if it’s reinstated.
5. Multiple Applications
- There is no limit to how many times you can apply to have your ICO reinstated.
6. If Reinstatement Is Not Granted
- If you don’t apply, or the Authority decides you’re not suitable, you’ll have to serve the rest of your ICO in prison.
