If it was capped at 4 then there is room to increase it for reoffending as follows:
1st block - 1 week
2nd block - 2 weeks
3rd block - 3 weeks
4th block - 4 weeks
5th block - 4 weeks (that is where the cap kicks in - see??)
and if it was six weeks then it would be different as follows:5th block - 5 weeks
6th block - 6 weeks
7th block - 6 weeks
(There the cap kicks in)And if it was an 8 week cap then
7th block - 7 weeks
8th block - 8 weeks
9th block - 8 weeks
(Cap is there at 8 weeks instead - see?)And of course you can continue to use discretion with respect to whether the next block increases or remains the same as the last one etc.
Clearer?
