Regulations for the government of Her Majesty's Gaol on the Island of Hongkong

One Reservist Constable will be ordered for duty at the prison daily. He will never leave his post, except by orders of the Magistrate; he will keep in his possession the Key of the door of the prison yard, which door must never be opened unless in his presence. One duly Inspector and four privates of the Native Corps will constantly attend at the prison - this guard will furnish a sentry day and night, to be stationed in the Verandah.

On occasions of alarm, the constables will instantly accoutre; two will remain to guard the Gaol, and the others will proceed to the Magistrate for orders. The Keys of the Gaol will be under the charge of the Senior Non-Commissioned Officer - and must be always at hand.

  1. Each prisoner must be searched before he is locked up and knives, and other cutting instruments taken from him.
  1. No clothes, or anything else will be allowed to enter the gaol without being previously inspected by the Constable on duty.
  1. No prisoner will be allowed to quit his cell; unless to labour, or to obey the call of nature, without the Magistrate's permission.
  1. No prisoner will be allowed to receive visitors, unless by the sanction of the Magistrate and in the Verandah. Prisoners so receiving visits will be searched after their friends shall have left them.
  1. Permission to purchase bread, fruit, and other harmless luxuries will be given to well-behaved prisoners.
  1. No unnecessary communication is allowed between Prisoners and Europeans. The Senior Non-Commissioned Officer will visit the cells in morning and evening, and satisfy himself of the safety of his Prisoners. He will recollect that the preservation of their health will mainly depend upon cleanliness of person and abode, to which he will particularly direct his attention.
  1. The Constable on duty will see that no prisoner leaves the prison unless under the special charge of a Warder.
