Prison.
SPECIAL RULES
for prisoners awaiting trial, those remanded from the Police Court, and those
committed for the first time in default of finding security.
141. Such prisoners shall be kept apart from convicted prisoners and not allowed to see them at any time.
142. Such prisoners shall not be required to take a bath on reception, if, on the application of the prisoner, the Superintendent shall decide that it is unnecessary, or the Surgeon shall state that it is for medical reasons unadvisable.
143. In order to prevent such prisoners from being contaminated by each other, or endeavouring to defeat the ends of justice, they shall be kept separate, so far as the prison accommodation will allow, and shall not be permitted to communicate together.
144. The Visiting Justices or Superintendent before granting any permission which by the following rules they are authorised or required to grant, shall satisfy themselves that it can be granted without interfering with the security, good order, and government of the prison and prisoners therein; and if, after it has been granted, its continuance seems likely to cause any such interference, or if the prisoner has abused such permission, or has been guilty of any misconduct, the Visiting Justices shall have power to suspend or withdraw such permission, and in like circumstances the Superintendent may withdraw or suspend the same when it has been granted by himself, or suspend it when it has been granted by the Visiting Justices if the case is urgent, provided he report the case as soon as possible.
145. The Visiting Justices or the Superintendent shall, on the application of any such prisoner, if, having regard to his ordinary habits and condition of life they think such special provision should be made in respect to him, permit any such prisoner.
