Young Offenders (Interstate Transfer) Act 1987

The permanent head may authorise a person referred to in section 10(2)(a) to receive young offenders being transferred through Queensland from one State to another.

Where under an agreement for the transfer of young offenders through Queensland from one State to another, a young offender is brought into Queensland by an escort authorised as provided in the agreement—

the escort, while in Queensland, is authorised to take, hold and keep custody of the young offender for the purposes of the transfer; and

a person authorised under subsection (1) may at the request of the escort and upon receiving from the escort written authority for the transfer as provided in the agreement—

receive and detain the young offender in custody for the time the escort requests, if it is reasonably necessary for the purposes of the transfer; and

at the end of that time deliver the young offender into the custody of the escort.
