489 Detention in default of payment of a fine
If a person is undergoing, or has been sentenced to, detention in a youth residential centre or youth justice centre and there is delivered to the Secretary a warrant to detain the person in a youth residential centre or youth justice centre or to imprison the person in default of payment of a fine or sum of money, the Secretary may direct that the period of the default be served in the youth residential centre or youth justice centre (as the case requires) instead of in the manner specified in the warrant.
