2 Issue of warrant for transfer of prisoner between Jersey and country
or territory outside the British Islands
(1) Where –
(a) international
arrangements apply to Jersey which provide for the transfer between Jersey and
a country or territory outside the British Islands of a prisoner;
(b) the
Minister and the appropriate authority of that country or territory have each
agreed to the transfer under those arrangements of the prisoner; and
(c) in
a case in which the terms of those arrangements provide for the prisoner to be
transferred only with the prisoner’s consent, the prisoner’s
consent has been given in accordance with paragraph (5),
the Minister must issue a warrant providing for the transfer of the
prisoner into or out of Jersey.
(2) The
Minister must not issue a warrant providing for the transfer of any prisoner into
Jersey unless –
(a) the
transfer appears to the Minister to be appropriate having regard to any close
ties which that person has with Jersey; or
(b) it
appears to the Minister that the transfer is for the purpose of a temporary
return of the prisoner, as described in Article 10.
(3) The
Minister must not issue a warrant, other than one superseding an earlier
warrant, unless satisfied that all reasonable steps have been taken to inform
the prisoner in writing in the prisoner’s own language –
(a) of
the substance, so far as relevant to the prisoner’s case, of the international
arrangements governing the transfer;
(b) of
the effect in relation to the prisoner of the warrant;
(c) in
the case of a transfer into Jersey, of the effect of the law relating to the
prisoner’s detention under that warrant (including the effect of an
enactment under which the prisoner is able to be released earlier than provided
for by the terms of the warrant);
(d) in
the case of a transfer out of Jersey, of the effect of so much of the law of
the country or territory to which the prisoner is to be transferred as has
effect with respect to transfers under those arrangements; and
(e) of
the powers of the Minister under this Law in relation to the revocation of
warrants.
(4) The
Minister must not issue a warrant superseding an earlier warrant unless the
requirements described in paragraph (3) have been fulfilled in relation to
the earlier warrant.
(5) Where
the international arrangements governing the transfer provide for a prisoner to
be transferred only with the prisoner’s consent the Minister must not
issue a warrant unless satisfied that the prisoner’s consent has been
given in a manner authorized by those arrangements and was so given either –
(a) by
the prisoner; or
(b) in
circumstances where it appears to the Minister inappropriate by reason of the
physical or mental condition or the youth of the prisoner for the prisoner to
act for himself or herself, by a person appearing to the Minister to be an
appropriate person to have acted on the prisoner’s behalf.
(6) A
consent given for the purposes of paragraph (1)(c) must not be capable of
being withdrawn after a warrant has been issued in respect of the prisoner and,
accordingly, a purported withdrawal of that consent after that time shall not
affect the validity of the warrant, or of any provision which by virtue of Article 12
subsequently supersedes provisions of that warrant, or of any direction given
in relation to the prisoner under Article 3(3).
(7) The
Minister must not issue a warrant, or if the Minister has issued one, must
revoke it, in any case where, before the transfer in question takes place,
circumstances arise or are brought to the Minister’s attention which, in
the Minister’s opinion, make it inappropriate for the transfer to take
place.
3 Effect of warrant: transfers out of Jersey
(1) The
effect of a warrant for a transfer out of Jersey shall be to authorize –
(a) the
taking of the prisoner to a place in Jersey;
(b) the
prisoner’s removal from Jersey; and
(c) the
prisoner’s delivery at the place of arrival, from Jersey, into the
custody of a person representing the appropriate authority of the country or
territory to which the prisoner is to be transferred.
(2) An
order by virtue of which the prisoner is required to be detained continues to
have effect after the prisoner’s removal from Jersey so as to apply to
the prisoner if he or she is again in Jersey at any time when under that order he
or she is to be, or could be, detained.
(3) At
any time after the removal of the prisoner from Jersey, the Minister may give a
direction varying the order or providing for the order to cease to have effect
if the Minister considers it appropriate to do so in order to give effect to
the international arrangements governing the transfer.
(4) The
power to vary the order includes power by direction –
(a) to
provide for how any period during which the prisoner is out of Jersey is to be
treated for the purposes of that order; and
(b) to
provide for the prisoner to be treated as having been released on licence under
Article 17 of the Prison (Jersey) Law 1957[3].
4 Effect of warrant: transfers into Jersey
(1) The
effect of a warrant for a transfer into Jersey shall be to authorize –
(a) the
bringing of the prisoner into Jersey from a place outside Jersey;
(b) the
taking of the prisoner to a place in Jersey at which effect is able to be given
to whatever provision the warrant contains for implementing the international
arrangements under which the prisoner is being transferred; and
(c) the
detention of the prisoner in Jersey in accordance with the provisions of the warrant,
being provisions appearing to the Minister appropriate for giving effect to the
international arrangements governing the transfer.
(2) Subject
to Article 10(2) to (4) any provision in the warrant described in paragraph (1)
for implementing the international arrangements governing the transfer –
(a) must
be a provision with respect to the detention of a person in a prison, a
hospital or other institution; and
(b) must
be a provision that may lawfully be contained in an order made either –
(i) in the course of
the exercise of its criminal jurisdiction by a court in Jersey, or
(ii) otherwise than by
a court, but for the purpose of giving effect to such an order.
(3) In
determining what provisions are appropriate for giving effect to the
international arrangements governing the transfer, the Minister must, to the
extent that appears consistent with those arrangements, have regard to the
inappropriateness of the warrant’s containing provisions which –
(a) are
equivalent to more than the maximum penalties (if any) that may be imposed on a
person who in Jersey commits an offence corresponding to that in respect of
which the prisoner is required to be detained in the country or territory from
which the prisoner is to be transferred; or
(b) are
framed without reference to the length –
(i) of the period
during which the prisoner is, but for the transfer, required to be detained in
that country or territory, and
(ii) of so much of
that period as will have been, or be treated as having been, served by the
prisoner when the provisions take effect.
(4) Subject
to paragraph (7) and the Schedule, a provision contained by virtue of paragraph (1)(c)
in the warrant shall for all purposes have the same effect as the same
provision contained in an order made as mentioned in paragraph (2)(b)(i)
or, as the case may be, paragraph (2)(b)(ii).
(5) The
Schedule shall have effect with regard to the operation of certain enactments
in relation to provisions contained by virtue of paragraph (1)(c) in a
warrant under this law.
(6) A provision
contained in a warrant for giving effect to the international arrangements
governing the transfer takes effect with the delivery of the prisoner to the
place in Jersey at which effect is able to be given to the provisions of the
warrant.
(7) Paragraph (4)
shall not confer any right of appeal on the prisoner against provisions contained
by virtue of paragraph (1)(c) in a warrant under this Law.
5 Transfer
of responsibility for detention and release of prisoner present outside the
country or territory in which prisoner is required to be detained
(1) Where –

arrangements apply to Jersey which provide for the transfer between Jersey and
a country or territory outside the British Islands of responsibility for the
detention and release of prisoners;
(b) the
Minister and the appropriate authority of that country or territory have each
agreed under those arrangements to the transfer of responsibility for the
detention and release of a particular prisoner; and
(c) in
a case in which the terms of those arrangements provide for the transfer of
responsibility to take place only with the prisoner’s consent, that
consent has been given in a manner authorized by those arrangements,

responsibility for the detention and release of the prisoner to the Minister
(where the prisoner is present in Jersey) or from the Minister (where the prisoner
is present outside Jersey).
(2) The
Minister must not issue a warrant under this Article providing for the transfer
of responsibility for the detention and release of a prisoner to the Minister

transfer appears to the Minister to be appropriate having regard to any close
ties which that prisoner has with Jersey.
(3) The
Minister must not issue a warrant under this Article where, after the duty in paragraph (1)
has arisen, circumstances arise or are brought to the Minister’s
attention which, in the Minister’s opinion, make it inappropriate for the
transfer of responsibility to take place.
(4) The
Minister must not issue a warrant under this Article (other than one
superseding an earlier warrant) unless satisfied that all reasonable steps have
been taken to inform the prisoner in writing in the prisoner’s own
language –
(a) of
the substance, so far as relevant to the case, of the international arrangements
in accordance with which it is proposed to transfer responsibility for the
prisoner’s detention and release;
(b) of
the effect in relation to the prisoner of the warrant which it is proposed to
issue under this Article;
(c) in
the case where the Minister is transferring the responsibility for the
detention and release of the prisoner to the appropriate authority of a country
or territory outside the British Islands, of the effect in relation to the
prisoner’s case of so much of the law of the country or territory
concerned as has effect with respect to transfers of responsibility for the
prisoner’s detention and release under those arrangements;
(d) in
the case where the Minister has agreed to a prisoner being transferred to
Jersey, of the effect in relation to the prisoner’s case of the law
applicable in Jersey relating to the prisoner’s detention under that
warrant and subsequent release (including the effect of any enactment under
which the prisoner may be released earlier than provided for by the terms of
the warrant); and
(e) of
the powers of the Minister under Article 12.
(5) The Minister must not
issue a warrant superseding an earlier warrant under this Article unless the
requirements of paragraph (4) were fulfilled in relation to the earlier warrant.
(6) A
consent given for the purposes of paragraph (1)(c) –
(a) must
have been given in accordance with Article 2(5); and
(b) shall
not be capable of being withdrawn after a warrant under this Article has been
issued in respect of the prisoner, and, accordingly, a purported withdrawal of
that consent after that time shall not affect the validity of the warrant, or
of any provision which, by virtue of Article 12, subsequently supersedes the
provisions of that warrant, or of any direction given in relation to the
prisoner under Article 6(4).
6 Effect of warrant: transfer of responsibility for prisoner from the
Minister
(1) This
Article applies in respect of a warrant issued under Article 5 relating to

exercise by a court or tribunal in Jersey of its criminal jurisdiction, or any
provision of this Law, and who is present in a country or territory outside the
British Islands.
(2) The
effect of the warrant shall be to transfer responsibility for the detention and
release of that prisoner from the Minister to the appropriate authority of the
country or territory in which the prisoner is present.
(3) The
order by virtue of which the prisoner is required to be detained at the time the
warrant is issued shall continue to have effect after the transfer of
responsibility so as to apply to the prisoner if he or she comes to be in Jersey
at any time when under that order he or she is to be, or may be, detained.
(4) At

10 Temporary return of a prisoner
(1) A
single warrant (“a temporary return warrant”) may provide for the
transfer of a prisoner both out of and into, or into and out of, Jersey if it
appears to the Minister that the transfers are for the purpose of the temporary
return of the prisoner either –
(a) from
Jersey to a country or territory outside the British Islands from which the
prisoner has previously been transferred into Jersey under this Law or any
other enactment (“outward temporary return warrant”); or
(b) to
Jersey from a country or territory outside the British Islands to which the
prisoner has previously been transferred from Jersey under this Law
(“inward temporary return warrant”).
(2) The
provisions in an outward temporary return warrant may, where the prisoner was
required when that warrant was issued to be detained in accordance with
provisions so contained in an earlier warrant, require the prisoner, upon
returning to Jersey, to continue to be detained in accordance with those
earlier provisions.
(3) A
warrant issued containing any such requirement must provide that any period in
which the provisions contained in the earlier warrant had effect during which
the prisoner was out of Jersey and in custody are to be treated (except to such
extent as may be specified in the warrant in order that effect can be given to
the international arrangements in question) as a period during which the
prisoner was detained under the provisions contained in the earlier warrant.
(4) The
provisions contained in an inward temporary return warrant may require the
prisoner to be detained in accordance with any order which, on the
prisoner’s return to Jersey, will apply in respect of the prisoner under
Article 3(2) and the Schedule shall not apply in relation to the provisions
contained in such a warrant.
11 Operation of warrant and re-taking prisoners
(1) Where
a warrant has been issued under this Law, the prisoner is deemed (subject to
any contrary provision in the warrant) to be in the legal custody of the
Minister at any time when, being in Jersey or on board a British ship or Jersey
ship, a British aircraft or a British hovercraft, the prisoner is being taken
under the warrant to or from any place, or being kept in custody under the
warrant.
(2) The
Minister may designate a person as an authorized person for the purposes of executing
any warrant issued under this Law and for taking the prisoner to or from any
place, or for keeping the prisoner in custody, under the warrant.
(3) An
authorized person has all the powers and duties of a member of the States of
Jersey Police Force.
(4) A
prisoner who escapes or is unlawfully at large may be arrested and taken to any
place to which the prisoner is able to be taken under the warrant.
12 Revocation of warrants
(1) If,
at any time, it appears to the Minister appropriate, in order to give effect to
international arrangements providing for transfer, or because circumstances
have arisen which in the Minister’s opinion make it inappropriate for the
transfer to take place, the Minister may, upon revoking the warrant, issue a
new warrant.
(2) A new
warrant, despite any defect in the revoked warrant, may –
(a) contain
provisions that supersede any of the provisions of the previous warrant;
(b) contain
any provision that could have been contained in the previous warrant;
(c) operate
so that –
(i) a provision in it
is treated as having taken effect when the earlier provisions took effect,
(ii) things done under
the earlier provisions are treated as having been done under the new provisions,
and
(iii) an enactment in force
when the new warrant is issued is treated as having been in force when the
provisions in the earlier warrant took effect.
13 Expenses of repatriation
(1) Any
expenses incurred by the Minister in the execution of this Law are to be
defrayed out of public funds.
(2) The
Minister has a duty, in the case of the transfer of a person into Jersey under this
Law, to secure the payment to the Minister by that person, or from some other
source, of the amount of any expenses incurred by the Minister in connection
with the conveyance of that person to Jersey, and for this purpose, the
Minister is empowered to require a person to give an undertaking to pay the
Minister the whole or any part of that amount, to enforce such an undertaking
and to make any such other arrangements for recovering that amount as a debt
due to the States as the Minister thinks fit.
(3) This
duty does not apply to the extent that in any case it appears to the Minister
unreasonable to exercise any of the powers conferred either because of the
exceptional circumstances of the case or because the means of the prisoner are
insufficient to meet the expenses, and their recovery, whether immediately or
at some future time, from the prisoner or from any other source is
impracticable.
14 Certificates
In any proceedings, the certificate of the Minister –
(a) that
a particular country or territory is a party to any international arrangements
for the transfer of prisoners that have effect as between Jersey and that country
or territory;
(b) that
the appropriate authority of any country or territory has agreed to the
transfer of a particular person in accordance with any such arrangements; or
(c) that,
for the purposes of any provision of this Law, a particular person is or
represents the appropriate authority of any country or territory,
is conclusive evidence of the matter certified.
15 Regulations
(1) The States may make Regulations for carrying
this Law into effect and in particular which –
(a) amend or modify enactments in relation to a
prisoner transferred to or from Jersey under this Law;
(b) amend the Schedule; and
(c) amend this Law for the purpose of giving
effect to any provision in a treaty or Convention to which Jersey is a party or
which is intended to have effect in Jersey.
(2) The
power to make Regulations under this Law may be exercised so as to make –
(a) different
provision for different cases and different purposes; and

make Rules for the purposes of this Law.
17 Citation and commencement
This Law may be cited as the Repatriation of Prisoners (Jersey) Law 2012
and shall come into force on such day or days as the States may by Act appoint.
