76Relocation of residents to prison where residence becomes uninhabitable
Where, for any reason, a residence is destroyed or becomes uninhabitable, the manager of the prison in which the residence is physically located may, on request by the residence manager, direct 1 or more corrections officers to detain and take the residents to the prison or, if that prison has also been destroyed or has become uninhabitable, to another prison.
Where 1 or more residents are taken to a prison under subsection (1), the residents may be detained in the prison, but if the residents' detention exceeds a period of 72 hours, the chief executive must, within the next working day after the day on which that period of 72 hours expires, apply to the court under section 77 for a transitional detention warrant authorising the continued detention of those residents.
Nothing in this section limits section 75.
Section 86 applies to a person who is taken to a prison under subsection (1).
