A known offender is not released after his sentence has been served - HSC - SSCE Legal Studies - Question 6 - 2012 - Paper 1

The correct option is (D) Continued. This type of detention implies that the offender remains incarcerated beyond the completion of their sentence. Continued detention often occurs due to ongoing assessments of the offender's risk to society or additional legal issues that may have arisen, ensuring public safety is prioritized. It is distinct from other forms of detention such as home, periodic, or weekend detentions, which have specific scheduling and release conditions.
