All convicted prisoners are provided with adequate scales
[of clothing} ]
clothing laid down by the Hong Kong Government.
are not allowed to have private clothing in addition.
Prisoners
Z Persons in detention have been free to use their own clothing;
and there have been no restrictions on clothing sent to them
by relatives or friends. I am not aware of any offer of clothing
by the Red Cross to persons in detention.
I am satisfied that no convicted prisoner or person in detention
has any cause for complaint about the adequacy of the warmth of
clothing.
