Youth Justice Act 1992

This section applies if, under section 135(2) or (7), an offender is required to be held on remand or serve a period of detention for a child offence as a term of imprisonment in a corrective services facility.

For holding the offender at a corrective services facility—

the offender is taken to be a prisoner under the Corrective Services Act 2006; and

any rights, liberties or immunities of the offender as a detainee under this Act in relation to the child offence are not preserved, transferred or otherwise applicable for the offender as a prisoner; and

if the offender is serving a period of detention, or liable to serve a period of detention—

the offender is liable to serve a term of imprisonment equal to the period of detention the offender remains liable to serve when the offender enters the corrective service facility under section 135(7)(b); and

the day the offender would otherwise have been released under section 227, for the period of detention, is the day the offender is to be released on parole under the Corrective Services Act 2006.

However, the release of the offender under subsection (2)(c)(ii) is subject to the Corrective Services Act 2006 as if granted under a court ordered parole order (the statutory parole order) and the provisions of that Act applying to parole orders also apply to the statutory parole order.
