13. Special provision will be made for the discharge on licence of each
inmate by arrangement with benevolent societies or persons who may
be willing to assist the case on discharge. Full information will be
afforded, and help given, to such societies or persons with the object
of securing a continuous and well-directed supervision of the case,
both at the moment of discharge and afterwards at the home or place to
which the inmate goes. Every encouragement will be given to preliminary
visitation in the Institution before discharge, in order that the
Society or individual may have a personal knowledge of the inmate, and
be in possession of the views of the authorities of the Institution
concerning him.
14. If the Prison Commissioners are satisfied that an inmate who has
been released on licence has escaped from the supervision of the
Society or person under whose care he has been placed, or has been
guilty of serious and wilful breach of the conditions of his licence,
and that the case cannot be dealt with by admonition and warning, they
may revoke the licence in pursuance of Section 5 (3) of the Act.
15. Inmates whose licences have been revoked under Section 5 (3), or
forfeited under Section 5 (4) of the Act, may be detained in the Penal
Class for such length of time as the Institution Board shall deem
it necessary, having regard to all the circumstances of the case or
they may be placed in the Ordinary Grade, but shall not be promoted
therefrom except with the approval of the Prison Commissioners.
16. The Form of Licence under Section 5 (1) and of Revocation under
Section 5 (3) of the Act shall be in the form of the Schedules appended
hereto.
