The phrase "in lieu of any other sentence" must be construed to permit a sentencing court to substitute a later centre order for an earlier centre order so that the sentencing court can properly assess suitability for the centre at the time of conviction; however a sentencing court lacks jurisdiction to impose a Training Centre Order that is merely postponed to commence consecutively to an existing DATC order without statutory authority, and such a postponed consecutive order is invalid.
