Restriction on eligibility for transfer to work camp
67 Restriction on eligibility for transfer to work camp
A prisoner is not eligible to be transferred to a work camp if—
the prisoner has been charged with an offence that has not been dealt with by a court; or
the chief executive is aware of an unexecuted warrant relating to the prisoner; or
a deportation or extradition order has been made against the prisoner; or
an appeal has been made to a court against the prisoner’s conviction or sentence and the appeal is not decided; or
the prisoner is ineligible under section 68A for transfer to a low custody facility.
When deciding whether to transfer a prisoner to a work camp, the chief executive must consider—
all recommendations of the sentencing court; and
the risk the prisoner may pose to the community, including, for example, by considering—
the risk of the prisoner escaping or attempting to escape; and
the risk of physical or psychological harm to a member of the community and the degree of risk; and
the prisoner’s security classification; and
anything else the chief executive considers relevant.
