NT inmate Dylan Voller to be freed next week

Dylan Voller - the teen inmate at the centre of the Northern Territory's royal commission into juvenile justice - will be released from prison next week to begin a rehabilitation scheme.

Voller has been granted bail by the Northern Territory Supreme Court to spend the next 16 weeks in the Alice Springs-based Bush Mob rehabilitation program, with his release effective from Monday.

If that goes well, the 19-year-old's remaining months of his near four-year jail sentence for attempted robbery, aggravated robbery and endangering serious harm to a police officer could be suspended.

In his decision yesterday, Justice Peter Barr said the release on bail would give Voller the opportunity to demonstrate good behaviour in the community.

"It would be, in effect, a test run to see whether the court could have sufficient confidence in Mr Voller to be persuaded that his existing sentence should be replaced by a partially suspended sentence," the judge said.

Voller was jailed in 2014 for a violent, ice-fuelled crime spree and was not due for release until October this year.

The NT royal commission was sparked when footage of him being tear-gassed, spit-hooded and shackled in the youth prison system was aired on national television last year.
