INITIAL REVIEW

For each detainee, an initial review shall commence as soon as possible. The initial review will consist of a hearing before a Periodic Review Board (PRB).






FILE REVIEW

File reviews will be conducted for any detainee whom the PRB has determined that continued detention is necessary every six months in the intervening years between full reviews, and will focus on any new information or changed circumstances that the PRB should consider.






FULL REVIEW

The PRB shall promptly convene a full review if, during a file review, a significant question is raised as to whether the detainee's continued detention is warranted. The full review consists of a hearing before the PRB.






SUBSEQUENT FULL REVIEW

The continued detention of each detainee shall be subject to subsequent full reviews and hearings by the PRB on a triennial basis.
