183 Disciplinary action by relevant presiding officer
(1) As disciplinary action against a detainee, a relevant presiding officer
may do 1 or more of the following (each of which is disciplinary

(b) reprimand the detainee;
(c) impose an administrative penalty, or a combination of
administrative penalties, on the detainee;
(d) give the detainee a direction under section 185 (Reparation).
(2) The relevant presiding officer must ensure that the disciplinary action
against a detainee for a disciplinary breach is proportionate to the
breach.

procedures), the director-general must make a corrections policy and
operating procedure providing for matters to be considered when
deciding whether disciplinary action is proportionate to a disciplinary
breach.
