Transfer of prisoner's property

    (1)     The Secretary may determine the amount of a prisoner's property that may be transferred with the prisoner from one prison to another.

    (2)     If any of a prisoner's property is not to be transferred with the prisoner because the amount referred to in subregulation (1) has been exceeded, the Governor of the prison where the property is held must ensure—

        (a)     that the prisoner is advised in writing that the property cannot be transferred and that the prisoner is required to make arrangements to remove the property within a specified time; and

        (b)     if the prisoner does not make arrangements to remove the property within a specified time, that the property is disposed of; and

        (c)     that the disposal or other dealing with the property is recorded in the inventory of that prisoner's property.

    (3)     The Governor must pay into the prisoner trust account on behalf of the prisoner any money received on the disposal of, or dealing with, the prisoner's property under subregulation (2).

    (4)     The Governor may deduct from any money required to be paid under subregulation (3) an amount that is no more than the cost of disposing of, or dealing with, the prisoner's property, under subregulation (2)(b).
