The standards adopted by the Director pursuant to subsection 3 must provide that an offender who has been convicted of a category B felony is eligible for assignment to the custody of the Division of Parole and Probation to serve a term of residential confinement pursuant to this section if:  (a) The offender is not otherwise ineligible pursuant to subsection 3 for an assignment to serve a term of residential confinement; and  (b) The Director makes a written finding that such an assignment of the offender is not likely to pose a threat to the safety of the public.  5. If an offender assigned to the custody of the Division of Parole and Probation pursuant to this section escapes or violates any of the terms or conditions of the offender’s residential confinement:  (a) The Division of Parole and Probation may, pursuant to the procedure set forth in NRS 213.410, return the offender to the custody of the Department.  (b) The offender forfeits all or part of the credits for good behavior earned by the offender before the escape or violation, as determined by the Director. The Director may provide for a forfeiture of credits pursuant to this paragraph only after proof of the offense and notice to the offender and may restore credits forfeited for such reasons as the Director considers proper. The decision of the Director regarding such a forfeiture is final.  6. The assignment of an offender to the custody of the Division of Parole and Probation pursuant to this section shall be deemed:  (a) A continuation of the offender’s imprisonment and not a release on parole; and  (b) For the purposes of NRS 209.341, an assignment to a facility of the Department,  except that the offender is not entitled to obtain any benefits or to participate in any programs provided to offenders in the custody of the Department.  7.

The Division of Parole and Probation may receive and distribute restitution paid by an offender assigned to the custody of the Division of Parole and Probation pursuant to this section.
