The Board may release a prisoner on licence subject to electronic monitoring for the whole or a part of the licence period to the extent considered necessary by the Board.
The Board shall cause the prisoner to be informed in writing of the conditions of electronic monitoring and the period during which he shall be subject to monitoring.
The Board shall not impose a condition of electronic monitoring unless —
it has been notified by the Ministry or Portfolio responsible for electronic monitoring that the necessary arrangements are available in the area in which the monitoring is to take place; and
it is satisfied that necessary provision can be made under those arrangements.
A prisoner who damages, destroys or tampers with any device used for or to facilitate electronic monitoring commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine of two thousand dollars or to imprisonment for a term of one year, or to both.
Any document or information provided by the person responsible for electronic monitoring relating to a prisoner who is under licence and being monitored electronically shall prima facie be admissible in proceedings in a court.
