them by heart during the many solitary hours I spent hereafter:— ABSTRACT OF THE REGULATIONS RELATING TO THE TREATMENT AND CONDUCT OF CONVICTED CRIMINAL PRISONERS. 1. Prisoners shall not disobey the orders of the Governor or of any officer of the prison, nor treat them with disrespect. 2. They shall preserve silence, and are not to cause annoyance or disturbance by making unnecessary noise. 3. They shall not communicate or attempt to do so with one another, or with any strangers or others who may visit the prison. 4. They shall not disfigure any part of their cells or damage any property, or deface, erase, destroy, or pull down any rules or other papers hung up therein, or commit any nuisance, or have in their cells or possession any article not sanctioned by the orders and regulations. 5. They shall not be idle, nor feign sickness to evade their work. 6. They shall not be guilty of profane language, of indecent or irreverent conduct, nor shall they use threats towards or commit assaults upon officers or one another. 7. They shall obey such regulations as regards washing, bathing, hair-cutting, and shaving as may from time to time be established, with a view to the proper maintenance of health and cleanliness. 8. They shall keep their cells, utensils, clothing, and bedding clean and neatly arranged, and shall when required clean and sweep the yards, passages, and other parts of the prison. 9. If any prisoner has any complaint to make regarding the diet, it must be made immediately after a meal is served and before any portion of it is eaten. Frivolous and groundless complaints, repeatedly made, will be dealt with as a breach of prison discipline. 10. A prisoner may, if required for the purposes of justice, be photographed. 11. Prisoners shall attend divine service on Sundays, and on other days when such service is performed, unless they receive permission to be absent. No prisoner shall be compelled to attend the religious service of a church to which he does not belong. 12. The following offences committed by male prisoners convicted of felony or sentenced to hard labour will render them liable to corporal punishment:— 1st. Mutiny or open incitement to mutiny in the prison, personal violence to any officer of the prison, aggravated or repeated assaults on a fellow-prisoner, repetition of insulting or threatening language to any officer or prisoner. 2nd. Wilfully and maliciously breaking the prison windows, or otherwise destroying the prison property.
