Compensation for property damage
59 Compensation for property damage
If an inmate causes any loss of or damage to property as a result of committing a correctional centre offence, the governor or Visiting Judge may, whether or not a penalty is imposed for the offence, order that the inmate pay to the Crown (or, if the property is owned by some other person, to that other person) a specified amount as compensation for the loss or damage.
The maximum amount of compensation that the governor may order an inmate to pay is $500.
Compensation that an inmate is ordered to pay under this section is payable out of any money held by the governor on behalf of the inmate or out of any other money otherwise payable to the inmate under this Act or the regulations.
