Drug Interventions Programme
Restriction on Bail
The Restriction on Bail (RoB) provision provides for a restriction on court bail for adult defendants who have tested positive for a specified Class A drug and whose offence is a drug offence or believed by the court to be related to, or motivated by, drug misuse.
Any adult who appears before a court in England or Wales can be eligible for the provision if they have previously tested positive in police custody, in relation to the offence, for a specified Class A drug.
Restriction on Bail acts as an incentive for defendants who have tested positive for a specified Class A drug to address their drug misuse and engage in any proposed treatment and/or other support, or face an increased risk of being refused bail.
