60AB.— (1) This rule applies where an inmate is found guilty of an offence under rule 55(18) or 55(19) in respect of destroying or damaging any part of a young offender institution or any other property belonging to a young offender institution (“the relevant disciplinary offence”).

(2) The governor or, as the case may be, the adjudicator must require the inmate to pay for the cost of making good the damage from, or replacing any property destroyed as a result of, the commission of the relevant disciplinary offence.

(3) A requirement imposed under paragraph (2) is referred to in this rule and in rules 60B, 64 and 64A as a “compensation requirement”.

(4) The amount required to be paid under a compensation requirement must not exceed the cost of making good the damage from, or replacing any property destroyed as a result of, the relevant disciplinary offence and, in any event, must not exceed £2,000.

(5) A compensation requirement may be imposed instead of or in addition to any punishment imposed under rule 60, 60A or 65.

(6) A compensation requirement ceases to have effect after two years from the date on which it was imposed regardless of whether or not the full amount has been paid.”.
