184 Application may be made to Court for transfer to training centre
If—
a person charged with or convicted of an offence has been, by order under this Act, remanded in custody in a prison; and
the person—
would, but for that order, be in custody in a training centre; or
is alleged to have committed the offence while—
on conditional release from a training centre; or
serving a sentence of home detention in accordance with the Young
Offenders Act 1993;
or
subject to an order under section 26 of that Act; and
the court is, on the application of the person or the chief executive of the administrative unit of the Public Service that is responsible for assisting a Minister in the administration of the Youth
Justice Administration Act 2016, satisfied that good reason exists for remanding the person to a training centre, the court may order that the person be transferred to a training centre.
If the court has, on a previous occasion, considered the question of whether the person should be remanded to a prison or to a training centre, an application may only be made under this section if, since the court considered the question—
there has been a material change in the circumstances of the person; or
the applicant has become aware of new facts or circumstances relevant to the question.
