176 How ICC prisoner is to be transferred
This section applies if an ICC prisoner is to be transferred from Australia to a foreign country to complete the service of his or her sentence.
The Attorney-General may issue a warrant, by writing in the statutory form, for the transfer of the prisoner.
The warrant authorises the transfer of the prisoner from Australia to the foreign country to complete the service of his or her sentence.
The warrant must:
specify the name and date of birth of the prisoner; and
state that the prisoner is to be transferred from Australia to the foreign country to complete the service of his or her sentence; and
authorise an escort officer to collect the prisoner from the prison in which he or she is held in custody, or from the hospital or other place where he or she is detained, and transport the prisoner in custody to the foreign country; and
require the superintendent of the prison, or the person in charge of the hospital or other place, to release the prisoner into the custody of the escort officer.
