YOUTH JUSTICE ACT 1992 - SECT 136

136 Application of Corrective Services Act 2006

(1) 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.

(2) For holding the offender at a corrective services facility—

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

(b) 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

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

(i) 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

(ii) 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 .

(3) 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.
