Provisions as to arrest and further detention of persons unlawfully at large

6. (1) Any person sentenced to detention who is or is deemed to be unlawfully at large may be arrested by any police officer without warrant and taken to the place in which he is required by law to be detained.

(1A) Any person in respect of whom a supervision notice has been made under section 5 and against whom an order of recall has been made under subsection (2) of that section who is or is deemed to be unlawfully at large may be arrested without warrant by any officer of the Correctional Services Department specified in that supervision notice, or such other officer of that Department as the Commissioner may substitute for the officer so specified by a modification of the requirements of that notice, and taken to the place in which he is required by law to be detained. (Added, 14 of 1988, s. 2)

(2) Where any person sentenced to detention is unlawfully at large at any time during the period for which he is liable to be detained in pursuance of the sentence, then unless the Governor otherwise directs no account shall be taken in calculating the period for which he is liable to be so detained of any time during which he was absent from the training centre:

Provided that-

(a) this subsection shall not apply to any period during which any such person as aforesaid is detained in prison pursuant to the sentence of any court; and

(b) nothing contained in this subsection shall be construed as extending the period during which a person sentenced to detention is liable to supervision under section 5.

Transfers from prison to training centre and vice versa

7.

Provided that if on that date the unexpired term of his sentence is less than 3 years, those provisions shall apply to him as if he had been sentenced to detention in a training centre 3 years before the expiration of that term.

(2) If a person in respect of whom a sentence of detention in a training centre is in force is reported to the Governor by the Commissioner to be incorrigible, or to be exercising a bad influence on the other inmates of the training centre, the Governor may commute the unexpired part of the term for which the said person is then liable to be detained in a training centre to such
