sec.10 Detaining authority may temporarily prohibit or restrict access to place of detention

The detaining authority for a place of detention may temporarily prohibit or restrict access to the place or part of the place by the subcommittee and an accompanying person if the detaining authority believes a ground mentioned in subsection (2) exists. For subsection (1) , the grounds are as follows— allowing access to the place or part of the place may prevent the maintenance of— security, good order and management of the place of detention; or health and safety of a person in the place of detention (including a member of the subcommittee and an accompanying person); allowing access to the place or part of the place may prevent the conduct of essential operations by the detaining authority. A prohibition or restriction of access to a place of detention or part of a place of detention under subsection (1) must be only for the shortest period reasonable in the circumstances. The detaining authority must— for each temporary prohibition or restriction of access to a place of detention or part of a place of detention under subsection (1) , make a written record of— the reasons for the prohibition or restriction; and the date and time when the prohibition or restriction began and its duration; and give a copy of the record to the responsible Minister for the place of detention.
