Remission of sentences

    (1)     The Secretary to the Department of Justice and Community Safety is responsible for the management of the remission of any sentence of a person undergoing detention in a youth residential centre or youth justice centre in accordance with this regulation.

    (2)     The Secretary must only grant the remission of any sentence of a person undergoing detention in a youth residential centre or youth justice centre if—

        (a)     the person has been sentenced to less than 6 months and the Youth Parole Board does not consider the person to be appropriate for parole; and

        (b)     the person does not have another unexpired sentence that is for a term of 6 months or more; and

        (c)     the person has been of good behaviour in custody; and
