bringing spirits, opium, tobacco, money, letters, or other prohibited articles into the prison, is duly maintained.
10. The Superintendent will, with the warden, enforce the highest possible degree of cleanliness in every part of the prison, in the persons of the prisoners, their clothes and bedding, and see that the bedding and clothing are all in proper repair.
11. The Superintendent shall deliver daily to the Surgeon a list of prisoners in solitary confinement, and of such as may have complained of sickness, sores, or any other ailment, without any exception, whether he thinks such complaint groundless or not, also a list of prisoners who have recently suffered, or are about to suffer, corporal punishment, or solitary confinement; and shall call his attention to any case of insanity or apparent insanity occurring among the prisoners.
12. The Superintendent shall take every precaution to prevent fire, or the escape of prisoners; and shall cause all the wards, cells, bolts, bars, and locks of the gaol to be thoroughly examined daily.
13. The Superintendent shall cause to be fully explained to every officer his general duties, and especially those required of him in case of fire, or in case of any attempt to escape made by either a single prisoner, or several in concert.
14. The Superintendent shall take proper and discreet means to ascertain that no visitors to prisoners bring into the Gaol anything not permitted by the rules of the gaol, or, in his opinion objectionable. To secure this as far as possible, he will on no account allow the employment of prisoners as servants by any officer of the gaol.
15. The Superintendent or, in his absence, the warden may, on reasonable grounds of suspicion, require that visitors to prisoners be searched in his presence, except in the case of females, who shall be searched in a private room by the matron. Should such visitors refuse to be searched, or to give their names and addresses, he may refuse them admittance.
16. The Superintendent shall see that the proper number of prisoners required by the Surveyor General for the public works are sent out at the proper time, with a sufficient number of well-armed officers for their safe custody, and he shall occasionally visit them while at work.
17. The Superintendent may permit any respectable person to view the gaol at reasonable hours, accompanied by an officer, who shall caution such visitor against conversing with any prisoner.
18. The Superintendent shall pay attention to the ventilation, drainage, and sanitary condition of the prison, and take such measures as may be necessary for their being maintained in perfect order; and with the Surgeon shall frequently examine and see that the washing places, baths, and closets are in efficient working order; and it shall be the duty of every officer to report at once any defect by which these arrangements do not effect their proper object.
