For each offender placed in a detention center incarceration program or diversion center incarceration program under the provisions of this paragraph, the chief probation and parole officer shall notify the chief judge of the appropriate circuit court and the Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission in a manner prescribed by the court and the Commission.
C.
