155 General Manager to deal with inspected items (1) This section applies if a thing that purports to be a protected/legal item is given to the General Manager under section 154(3)(b).

Correctional Services Act 2014 71 (2) If the nominated examiner found that the thing was not a protected/legal item, the General Manager must deal with it under section 157(3) as a confiscated thing. (3) If the nominated examiner found that the thing was a protected/legal item, subject to subsections (4) and (5), the General Manager must: (a) if the protected/legal item was confiscated from a person – return it to that person; or (b) if the protected/legal item was mail: (i) if it was sent to a prisoner – give it to the prisoner; or (ii) otherwise – send it to the addressee. (4) If the General Manager reasonably believes that the protected/legal item is a prohibited thing, the General Manager may deal with it under section 157(3). (5) If the General Manager reasonably believes that the protected/legal item contains a thing that is a prohibited thing, the General Manager: (a) may remove the thing and deal with it under section 157(3); and (b) must deal with the rest of the protected/legal item under subsection (3). (6) However, if the protected/legal item is a document and only part of it is a prohibited thing, the General Manager may redact that part of the document and deal with the document under subsection (3).
