Intensive Correction Order (ICO) Conditions
All orders must contain both mandatory conditions and at least one additional condition, set by the Court at the time of sentencing.
On occasions, Community Corrections, the offender or their legal representative
may request variation of the conditions of the ICO.
In all cases, these requests are made to the State Parole Authority, despite the court
setting the conditions at the time of sentence.
All ICOs requiring at least two conditions to be
placed on the order. As can be seen below there are a number of additional conditions that
can be placed on an ICO.
In all cases where a variation may result in the inclusion of a home detention or
community service work component, an assessment must be provided by Community Corrections as to the suitability of the offender for this condition prior to
imposition.
