332: Form of custody of persons detained under warrant of commitment
or “Where detained people are held based on age and marital status”
You could also call this:

“Rules for holding people in custody under immigration law”

When you are held in custody under this law, some special rules apply. If someone has a warrant to detain you, they can keep you in custody if they honestly believe you’re the person named in the warrant, even if there’s a mistake in how the warrant was issued.

If you’re held in custody, the person in charge of you must tell you that you can contact a lawyer or an adult you trust. If you’re under 18, you can contact a parent or guardian. If you ask, they must try their best to let your lawyer, trusted adult, parent, or guardian visit you and talk to you in private.

If you’re held in a prison, you must be treated according to the rules in the Corrections Act 2004 and any related regulations about how to treat people in prison under this law.

The person who has the warrant to keep you in custody can take reasonable steps to make sure the warrant is carried out.
