Breach of a CCP

You can be charged with a criminal offence if you don’t comply with the conditions of a CCP. The maximum penalty for this offence is 3 years’ imprisonment.

Breaching the conditions of a CCP could also make it very difficult to get another one in the future.

Escape from custody

When you leave prison on a Corrections Administration Permit or Rehabilitation and Transition Permit you are still in custody.

If you run away from escorting officers or don’t come back to the prison within the time on your permit, you could be charged with the criminal offence of escaping from custody while outside a prison. The maximum penalty for this offence is 5 years’ imprisonment.
