ORDINANCE No. 18 of 1885.
Prison.
All officers of the prison must, as far as lies in their power, endeavour to carry out this rule, bearing in mind that the object of classification is to prevent the contamination by depraved prisoners of prisoners not so depraved; and to attempt to ensure that a prisoner shall go out of prison not worse than he came in.
VISITS AND COMMUNICATIONS TO PRISONERS, &c.
234. Convicted prisoners, with the exception of those heretofore mentioned, after they have served the first three months, will be permitted to write and receive one letter every three months; but the Superintendent may permit any prisoner to write a special letter, or to see his friends, immediately after conviction, if for the purpose of making arrangements respecting his property, &c.
235. All letters to and from prisoners are to be read by the Superintendent, and shall be forwarded or kept back according to the nature of their contents. Events of importance to prisoners may be communicated to them at any period by the Superintendent.
236. The privilege of writing and receiving letters may be postponed or forfeited by misconduct, if so ordered by the Superintendent; but no such order shall be made for a period longer than one month from the time of the prisoner's last report.
237. Convicted prisoners, with the exception of those heretofore mentioned, shall be allowed, after the first three months, to see their relations or friends once in three months, unless such visits are prohibited by the Superintendent for misconduct; but no prohibition shall be made for a period longer than one month from the time of the prisoner's last report.
238. The days and hours for visits to the prisoners shall be fixed by the Superintendent, and shall be publicly notified at the gates of the prison.
239. If any prisoner is committed to prison in default of the payment of any sum which, in pursuance of any conviction or order, he is required to pay, such prisoner shall be allowed to communicate by letter with and to see any of his friends at any reasonable time, for the bona fide purpose of providing for the payment which would procure his release from prison.
240. In case of very serious illness prisoners will be allowed to see their relations, if not objected to on medical grounds.
241. The visits of prisoners' friends will in no case be allowed to exceed fifteen minutes, and will always be made in the presence of an officer of the prison.
242. Officers of Police may visit prisoners for the purpose of identification, on production of an order from the Police, or with magisterial authority.
243. Officers of the law, with competent warrants, or orders for serving writs or other legal process on persons within the prison, shall be admitted into the prison for that purpose.
