Custodial sentences

Custodial sentences are either short term or long term.  If you receive a sentence of less than 4 years you are deemed a short term prisoner.  You will normally be released at the half way stage.

If you receive a sentence of 4 years or more you are deemed a long term prisoner.  Parole / release conditions apply but you will normally be released under supervision or license to a Justice social worker.  There will be strict conditions to your license but they are there to support your return to the community, encourage a law abiding lifestyle and the continuing protection of the public.
