If a child or young person who is sentenced to detention in a youth justice custodial centre is being held in custody in a prison, police gaol or other place that is not a youth justice custodial centre, the child or young person is taken to be serving that sentence of detention even if the child or young person is being held in custody otherwise than in a youth justice custodial centre, unless that sentence of detention has been suspended under section 682.
