(1) If an offender has been imprisoned for multiple offences, the most serious of these is considered to be the main offence |
|
|
|
|
| ||||||
(2) This category includes those who: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Have been convicted but not yet sentenced (and so do not have a scheduled release date) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| ||||
- Are serving indeterminate sentences (and so by the nature of the sentence do not have a scheduled release date) |
|
|
|
| |||||||
- Have a scheduled release date after 31 March 2022 |
