ORDINANCE No. 18 of 1885.
Prison.
177. Such prisoners may be permitted, if the accommodation of the gaol will allow, to work at their respective trades and professions. Those who find their own implements, and are not maintained at the expense of the prison, shall be allowed to receive the whole of their earnings; but the earnings of such as are furnished with implements, or are maintained at the prison expense, shall be subject to a deduction, to be determined by the Visiting Justices, for the use of implements, and the cost of maintenance.
178. Such prisoners shall be permitted to see their friends for a quarter of an hour on any week-day, during such hours as are appointed; they may also send and receive letters at all reasonable times, subject to rule 221.*
179. The place in which such prisoners receive their visits shall not be the same as that in which criminal prisoners receive their visits, if any other suitable place can conveniently be provided.
180. No such prisoner shall be compelled to attend any religious service other than his own; but, subject to these provisions, he shall attend Divine Service on Sundays, and on week-days when such service is performed, unless prevented by sickness, or excused by the Superintendent for any other reasons.
181. Such prisoners shall be subject to any general rules, except so far as the same are inconsistent with the special rules relating to such prisoners.
182. Such prisoners shall be allowed to smoke under such regulations as may be laid down by the Superintendent.
SPECIAL RULES FOR DEBTORS.
183. Debtors 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 if the Surgeon shall state that it is for medical reasons unadvisable.
184. Debtors shall at all times, except when at Chapel or exercise, occupy the cells or rooms assigned to them.
185. The Superintendent, before granting any permission which by the following rules he is authorised or required to grant, shall satisfy himself 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, he shall have power to suspend or withdraw such permission.
186. Debtors shall be permitted to supply their own food, on giving due notice beforehand at the time required; but the Superintendent shall not permit such prisoners to receive any prison allowance of food on any day, for which they receive or procure food at their own expense.
