(1) The chief executive may make an order (the
"maximum security order" ) that a prisoner be accommodated in a maximum
security unit.
(2) However, the chief executive may direct that the prisoner
be accommodated for the whole or a part of the period for which the
maximum security order is in effect in an area in the corrective services
facility other than a maximum security unit.
(3) The maximum security order
may be made only if the chief executive reasonably believes that 1 or more of
the following apply—
(a) there is a high risk of the prisoner escaping or
attempting to escape;
(b) there is a high risk of the prisoner killing or
seriously injuring other prisoners or other persons with whom the prisoner may
come into contact;
(c) generally, the prisoner is a substantial threat to the
security or good order of the corrective services facility.
