Prison.
19. The Superintendent shall visit prisoners in solitary confinement, occasionally visit the wards and cells at night, and keep a general supervision over the mark system.
20. The Superintendent shall hear the reports every day, at such an hour as is most convenient, and shall take care that every prisoner having a complaint to make, or request to prefer to him, shall have ample facilities for doing so; and he shall redress any grievances, or take such steps as may seem necessary, recording the same in the prisoners' interview book.
21. The Superintendent shall forward to the Governor without delay any report or complaint which any officer of the prison may desire to make to him, and shall on no account suppress it; but he may offer any explanation with it which may seem to him requisite.
22. The Superintendent shall enforce the observance of silence throughout the prison, and prevent all intercourse or communication between the prisoners, so far as the formation and the conduct of the business of the prison or the labour of the prisoners will permit, and shall take care that all necessary and unavoidable intercourse or communication between prisoners be conducted in such manner only as he shall from time to time direct.
23. The Superintendent shall take care that no prisoner is subjected to any punishment which the Surgeon is not satisfied he is capable of undergoing; and shall see that the written recommendations of the Surgeon are attended to as to the supply of any additional bedding or clothing, or alteration of diet for any prisoner, or with respect to any alteration of discipline or treatment in the case of any prisoner whose mind or body appears to require it.
24. The Superintendent shall cause an inventory to be kept of all clothing, bedding, tools, furniture, &c., under his charge, which shall be verified half-yearly; and he shall satisfy himself of the correctness of the inventory, and shall countersign the same.
All unserviceable and unrepairable articles at such times shall be brought forward for inspection, that they may be condemned and sold, or otherwise disposed of.
25. The Superintendent shall exercise his authority with firmness, temper, and humanity. His object should be not only to give full effect to the sentence awarded to the prisoners, but also to induce in them practical habits of industry, regularity, and good conduct.
26. The Superintendent shall submit to the Governor, by the 1st of February in each year, an annual report of the prison for the previous year, referring to all subjects of interest, and giving a brief history of the prison.
27. The Superintendent shall enter in the Superintendent's order book all permanent orders which he shall issue relating to the management and discipline of the prison.
