# The Young Offender Institution Rules 2000, Article 60B: Review of adjudicator’s punishment


(1) A reviewer means the Senior District Judge (Chief Magistrate) or any deputy of such a judge as nominated by that judge.
(2) Where an adjudicator imposes a punishment under rule 60A(1) or rule 65(1A), a compensation requirement under rule 60AB(2), or both an inmate may, within 14 days of receipt of the punishment or the imposition of the compensation requirement, whichever is later, request in writing that a reviewer conducts a review.
(3) The review must be commenced within 14 days of receipt of the request and must be conducted on the papers alone.
(4) The review may be of the punishment, the compensation requirement or both (whether or not the inmate requested a review of both) but must not be a review of the finding of guilt.
(5) On completion of the review, if it appears to the reviewer that the imposition of the punishment, the compensation requirement or both was manifestly unreasonable, he may do such of the following as he considers appropriate—
(a) reduce the number of any additional days awarded;
(b) for whatever punishment has been imposed by the adjudicator, substitute another punishment which is, in his opinion, less severe; ...
(c) quash the punishment entirely;
(d) reduce the amount of the compensation requirement.
(6) An inmate requesting a review shall serve any additional days awarded under rule 60A(1)(b) or 65(1A)(b) unless and until they are reduced.
