Parole—transfer to youth justice custodial centre
677 Parole—transfer to youth justice custodial centre
Despite section 627, the Youth Parole Board must not release a child or young person on parole before the expiry of any non-parole period fixed in accordance with Subdivision (1) of Division 2 of Part 3 of the Sentencing Act 1991 if the child or young person—
was sentenced to a term of imprisonment; and
has been transferred from a prison under a direction given under section 674 and is currently detained in a youth justice custodial centre.
Despite section 627, the Youth Parole Board must not release a child or young person on parole if—
the child or young person was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 12 months or more; and
a non-parole period was not fixed in accordance with Subdivision (1) of Division 2 of Part 3 of the Sentencing Act 1991.
In determining whether to release a child or young person on parole, the Youth Parole Board may take into account the periods which the child or young person has spent in a prison.
