2009 North Carolina Code
Chapter 7B - Juvenile Code.
§ 7B-2517. Transfer authority of Governor.

§ 7B‑2517.  Transfer authority of Governor.

The Governor may order transfer of any person less than 18 years of age from any jail or penal facility of the State to one of the residential facilities operated by the Department in appropriate circumstances, provided the Governor shall consult with the Department concerning the feasibility of the transfer in terms of available space, staff, and suitability of program.

When an inmate, committed to the Department of Correction, is transferred by the Governor to a residential program operated by the Department, the Department may release the juvenile based on the needs of the juvenile and the best interests of the State. Transfer shall not divest the probation or parole officer of the officer's responsibility to supervise the inmate on release. (1979, c. 815, s. 1; 1997‑443, s. 11A.118(a); 1998‑202, s. 6; 2000‑137, s. 3.)
