REMISSION


28. (1) Remission - Every inmate may be credited with remission of his or her sentence and is subject to the forfeitures of such remission equivalent to that provided for in the Prisons and Reformatories Act (Canada). R.S.O. 1990, c. M.22, s. 28 (1).
     (2) Restoration of Forfeiture Remission - Where an inmate has forfeited the whole or any part of his or her remission, a person designated by the Minister for the purpose may, where the person is satisfied that it is in the interest of the inmate's rehabilitation, remit the whole or any part of such forfeiture. R.S.O. 1990, c. M.22, s. 28 (2).
     (3) Surrender of Remission - Where an inmate offers to surrender the whole or any part of his or her remission and where, in the opinion of the superintendent, it is necessary or desirable that the inmate remain confined in the correctional institution for medical or humanitarian reasons or to assist the inmate in his or her rehabilitation for a period of time after the day on which the inmate is eligible to be released by reason of remission, the superintendent may authorize the surrender of remission by the inmate.
     (4) Supervision, Privileges Continued - Where an inmate surrenders remission under subsection (3), the inmate shall remain confined in the correctional institution for such further period that corresponds to the amount of remission surrendered, under the same control and supervision and with the same privileges as if the inmate were not eligible to be released at that time. R.S.O. 1990, c. M.22, s. 28 (4).
     (5) Withdrawal - Despite subsection (3), a superintendent may withdraw an authorization and an inmate may withdraw a surrender of remission at any time after the day on which the inmate was eligible for release from the correctional institution, and where such withdrawal is made in writing, the inmate shall be released from the institution forthwith. R.S.O. 1990, c. M.22, s. 28 (5).
