(1)This section applies to a person if—
(a)he has been serving a determinate sentence of imprisonment which he began serving on or after 1st October 1992;
(b)he is released under Part II of the M1Criminal Justice Act 1991 (early release of prisoners);
(c)before the date on which he would (but for his release) have served his sentence in full, he commits an offence punishable with imprisonment (“the new offence”); and
(d)whether before or after that date, he is convicted of the new offence.
(2)Subject to subsection (3) below, the court by or before which a person to whom this section applies is convicted of the new offence may, whether or not it passes any other sentence on him, order him to be returned to prison for the whole or any part of the period which—

(b)is equal in length to the period between the date on which the new offence was committed and the date mentioned in subsection (1)(c) above.
(3)A magistrates’ court—
(a)shall not have power to order a person to whom this section applies to be returned to prison for a period of more than six months; but

(4)Where a person is committed to the Crown Court under subsection (3) above, the Crown Court may order him to be returned to prison for the whole or any part of the period which—

(b)is equal in length to the period between the date on which the new offence was committed and the date mentioned in subsection (1)(c) above.
(5)Subsection (3)(b) above shall not be taken to confer on the magistrates’ court a power to commit the person to the Crown Court for sentence for the new offence, but this is without prejudice to any such power conferred on the magistrates’ court by any other provision of this Act.
(6)The period for which a person to whom this section applies is ordered under subsection (2) or (4) above to be returned to prison—
(a)shall be taken to be a sentence of imprisonment for the purposes of Part II of the M3Criminal Justice Act 1991 and this section;

(7)As a consequence of subsection (6)(a) above, the court shall not be prevented by section 84 above from making any direction authorised by subsection (6)(b) above.
(8)Where the new offence is found to have been committed over a period of two or more days, or at some time during a period of two or more days, it shall be taken for the purposes of this section to have been committed on the last of those days.
(9)For the purposes of sections 9 and 10 of the M4Criminal Appeal Act 1968 (rights of appeal), any order made in respect of a person by the Crown Court under subsection (2) or (4) above shall be treated as a sentence passed on him for the offence for which the sentence referred to in subsection (1) above was passed.

(a)determinate sentences of detention under section 91 above, or
(b)sentences of detention in a young offender institution,
