  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order extends the provisions of the Repatriation of Prisoners Act 1984 (c. 47), subject to the adaptations and modifications listed in Schedule 1 to the Order, to the territories specified in Schedule 2. The Repatriation of Prisoners Act 1984 authorises transfers of prisoners between the United Kingdom and a country or territory outside the British Isles where both are parties to an international agreement that allows for prison transfers between those jurisdictions. The effect of the adaptations and modifications is to ensure the Act applies to the territories specified in Schedule 2 in a manner similar to the manner in which the Act applies in the United Kingdom.",
