Section 54
(1)
A woman or girl shall become eligible for conditional discharge after such woman or girl has been detained for six months. If the Place of Safety Board, after consideration of her character and conduct, are of the opinion that there is a reasonable probability that she will lead a useful and industrious life, they shall so recommend to the Commissioner.
(2)
The Commissioner shall consider any recommendation made to her under this rule and she may, if she thinks fit, recommend to the Discharge 1101
Committee that the woman or girl be discharged subject to such conditions as she shall impose.
(3)
If the Commissioner is satisfied that a woman or a girl who has been discharged has escaped from the supervision of the person under whose care she has been placed, or is guilty of serious and wilful breach of the conditions of her conditional discharge and the case cannot be dealt with by advice and warning, she may revoke the conditional discharge.
(4)
A woman or a girl whose conditional discharge has been revoked may, on readmission to the place of safety, be placed in the Penal Grade for such length of time as the Warden shall deem necessary, having regard to all the circumstances of the case.
(5)
Forms for conditional discharge and revocation of conditional discharge shall be in such form as the Superintendent may determine.
