Cancellation of parole

229. Cancellation of parole



(1) If a person is released on or granted parole under section 227, the
Youth Residential Board may at any time before the end of the parole period by
order cancel the parole.

(2) If the Youth Residential Board cancels a person's parole under sub-section
(1) the Youth Residential Board may at any time by further order revoke the
cancellation and, on that revocation, the parole order revives.



(3) The Youth Residential Board must not make a revocation order under
sub-section (2) in any case where a warrant has been issued under sub-section
(5)(a) unless the Youth Residential Board is satisfied that the warrant will
not be executed.

(4) If the person is sentenced to a term of imprisonment or to a period of
detention in a youth training centre for more than 3 months or to a further
period of detention in a youth residential centre for more than 3 months in
respect of an offence committed during the parole period, whether in Victoria
or elsewhere, the Youth Residential Board may cancel that person's parole,
whether or not the parole period may already have ended.

(5) If a person's parole is cancelled, the Youth Residential Board or any
member of the Board may-

   (a)  authorise any member of the police force or other officer by warrant
        signed by the secretary or a member of the Board to apprehend the
        person and return the person to a youth residential centre to serve
        the unexpired portion of the person's sentence of detention; or

   (b)  whether or not a warrant has been issued under paragraph (a), apply to
        a magistrate for a warrant authorising any member of the police force
        or other officer to apprehend the person and return the person to a
        youth residential centre to serve the unexpired portion of the
        person's sentence of detention.





(6) A warrant issued under sub-section (5)(a) is sufficient authority for the
person's apprehension and return to a youth residential centre to serve the
unexpired portion of the person's sentence of detention or for the person to
be otherwise dealt with by the Youth Residential Board.

(7) If a person's parole is cancelled the original warrant or other authority
for the person's detention revives and unless the Youth Residential Board
otherwise orders, having regard to the extent to and the manner in which the
person complied with the parole order, no part of the time between the
person's release on parole and his or her recommencing to serve the unexpired
portion of the period of detention is to be regarded as time served in respect
of the period of detention.

(8) If section 237 applies, the warrant or other authority must in all
respects be regarded as and taken to be a warrant to detain the person in a
youth training centre.

(9) The Youth Residential Board may revoke any order for cancellation of
parole at any time before the warrant to arrest is executed and, on revoking
the order, must cause the warrant to be withdrawn.
