Corrective Services Act 2006

A constable who has a Norfolk Island prisoner in custody under a Norfolk Island warrant is authorised to have custody of, and deal with, the Norfolk Island prisoner in Queensland under the warrant.

A corrective services officer may, under a Norfolk Island warrant—

take control of the Norfolk Island prisoner the subject of the warrant from a constable in Queensland; and

transport the Norfolk Island prisoner to a corrective services facility.

However, a corrective services officer may act under subsection (2) only if the chief executive has been given the Norfolk Island warrant or a copy of the warrant.

A Norfolk Island prisoner may be admitted to and detained in a corrective services facility specified by the chief executive for the period of the Norfolk Island prisoner’s imprisonment or other detention.

A Norfolk Island prisoner is taken to be in the chief executive’s custody—

while under the control of a corrective services officer under subsection (2); and

while detained in a corrective services facility under subsection (4).

The Norfolk Island prisoner remains in the chief executive’s custody until discharged—

except for any time when the Norfolk Island prisoner is lawfully in another person’s custody; and

even if the Norfolk Island prisoner is lawfully outside a corrective services facility.

Subsection (4) applies despite anything stated in a Norfolk Island warrant about—

a specified corrective services facility in which the period of imprisonment or other detention is to be served; or

a specified person in charge of a corrective services facility to whom the Norfolk Island prisoner is to be produced.
