   (a)  a person is serving a sentence of detention in a
        youth training centre; and

   (b)  before the end of that sentence of detention he or she is sentenced to
        a period of detention in a youth residential centre to be served

Youth Parole Board in respect of the sentence of detention in a
youth training centre or otherwise, direct that at the end of the sentence of
detention in a youth training centre, the person must serve the whole of the
period of detention in a youth residential centre (if it was to be served
cumulatively on the sentence of detention in a youth training centre) or the
unexpired portion (if any) of it (if it was to be served concurrently with the
sentence of detention in a youth training centre) as detention in a
youth training centre.

(3) If under sub-section (2) the period of detention in a
youth residential centre is to be served as detention in a

youth training centre, subject to the jurisdiction of the Youth Parole Board
and the Youth Parole Board may at any time release the person on parole.

(4) This section does not apply to or in relation to a person who is sentenced
to a period of detention in a youth residential centre while that person is
