Intensive Correction Orders
Arguably described as orders of imprisonment served in the community. It requires intensive rehabilitative (almost daily requirements) orders supervised by the Department of Corrective Services. These orders can be appropriate in cases requiring general deterrence (R v Riddell (unrep, CA Qld, No 470 of 1996)). The maximum period of the order is 12 months (s 112). Convictions are mandatory for these orders (s111 Penalties and Sentences Act (Qld) 1992). The offender must consent (s117) to the order.
The orders standard conditions (s114) include requirements to:-
—meet with a Corrective Services officer at least twice a week
—perform community service
—if necessary to reside at a residential facility for up to 7 days
Additional requirements are outlined in s115.
Two or more intensive correction orders can be ordered but the total must not be more than 1 yr (s118).
Breaches of Intensive Correction Orders are subject to the same requirements as breaching other community based orders but in addition the Court may revoke the order and commit the offender to the outstanding period of imprisonment (s127).
