76. Remission system to be explained upon admission and release under remission order

The Superintendent of a prison must ensure that —

if a prisoner is admitted to the prison or released under a remission order — the provisions for the remission of sentences in Part 5B of the Act (including the basic condition of a remission order and the mandatory aftercare scheme), so far as they apply to the prisoner, are explained to the prisoner;

an explanation is given to a prisoner if any time spent by the prisoner serving his or her sentence is not reckonable for the purposes of the making of a remission order under section 50I of the Act; and

a prisoner is fully informed if the prisoner is punished with forfeiture of remission for any reason.
