In addition to any other power that that Director may have, the Director may, at that Director's discretion and on such terms and conditions as that Director thinks fit as to custody or otherwise, authorise a prisoner not recommended for deportation to leave the prison —
under escort, for the purpose of visiting a dying relative or of attending a funeral service; or
for part of a day, for attendance at any place if that Director considers that through such an absence from prison the skill, knowledge or development of the prisoner would be thereby advanced.
A convicted prisoner shall, at the discretion of the Director, be eligible during the thirty days prior to the date of that prisoner's anticipated discharge for up to five days pre-discharge leave to be taken on such conditions as the Director may think necessary.
A prisoner who fails to observe any term or condition imposed by the Director under subsection (1) or (2) shall be deemed to be unlawfully at large and to have escaped from lawful custody.
