Commentary on Sections Part 1: Victims and Witnesses Chapter 1 - The Offender Levy Section 3: Deduction of offender levy imposed by court from prisoners’ earnings
This section permits the governor of a prison or young offenders centre (or a person authorised by the governor) to deduct money from the earnings of a prisoner to recover the value of levy imposed by the court. It also enables the Department of Justice to make directions on the rate, timing and conditions of those deductions.
