commitment has been issued in respect of a young offender that requires the
offender to be detained for a period, then at any time before the offender has
served the period the chief executive officer may issue a warrant to have the
offender arrested and taken to a detention centre to serve or to continue to
serve the period.

of the sentence or made in the exercise of the Royal Prerogative of Mercy.
