Corrective Services Act 2006

A corrective services officer may seize—

anything found in a corrective services facility, whether or not in a person’s possession, that the officer reasonably considers poses, or is likely to pose, a risk to—

the security or good order of the facility; or

the safety of persons in the facility; or

a prohibited thing found in a corrective services facility, other than on or in the possession of a prisoner who has the chief executive’s written approval to possess the thing; or

a prohibited thing found on or in the possession of a prisoner who does not have the chief executive’s written approval to possess the thing.

A corrective services officer must not seize a document to which legal professional privilege attaches.

Section 140(6) does not apply in relation to a thing seized under this section if the chief executive refers the matter to the commissioner under section 114.
