Statute overview

About this statute

Chapter 2 is about penalties. If a prisoner or detainee commits an offence, the act may lead to disciplinary punishment in prison cases, but more serious offences must be reported to the police or another investigation authority. This section says a prison sentence means loss or restriction of liberty. Imprisonment may be imposed for a fixed term or for life. Fixed-term imprisonment must be at least 14 days and at most 12 years, or 15 years when a common sentence is set under Chapter 7. When a prison sentence is imposed, the time units are years, months, and days; sentences under three months are imposed in days.
