OFFICERS' REGULATIONS.
Gaoler.

1. He shall reside in the establishment, from which
   he shall not absent himself for a longer period than
   six hours without the written authority of the Super-
   tendent. He shall be responsible for the discipline,
   entire management, and safe custody of the prisoners,
   the impartial enforcement of penal discipline, and the
   introduction and maintenance of habits of industry,
   cleanliness, order, and obedience among them, and in
   the establishment generally.

2. He shall duly ascertain that the prisoners are
   correctly instructed in labour, and so placed as to
   preclude their carrying on conversation, unheard by
   the officer in charge. He will, therefore, frequently
   and at uncertain hours, visit the working parties.

3. He shall see that all the officers under his
   charge perform their duties in strict accordance with
   the regulations issued for their guidance.

4. He shall be at all times ready to receive any
   complaint or application made by any of the prison-
   ers, and to report the same to a Visiting Justice.

5. He shall use all necessary measures of pre-
   cautíon to prevent the escape of prisoners, and with
   that view frequently visit them, and inspect the
   wards, separate apartments, cells, and every division
   of the establishment by day and by night.

6. He shall see that the utmost economy be observed
   throughout the establishment, and that the labour of
   the prisoners, so far as such labour is subject to his
   authority, be made as productive as possible.

7. He shall not allow prisoners, under any pretence whatever, to be employed either singly or in detached
   parties, without being under the charge and personal
   observation of an officer.

8. He shall not permit any stranger to sleep in
   the apartments of the officers, nor shall any visitors
   be allowed unless by permission of a Visiting Justice.

9. He shall keep a journal, in which he will enter
   every extraordinary occurrence, and remark upon any
   irregularities which may take place in the discipline
   of the establishment; as also upon all matters of
   importance bearing upon the health, discipline, and
   employment of the prisoners.

10. He shall specially report to the Medical Officer
    the case of any prisoner whose condition, mental or
    bodily, requires particular attention.

11. He shall furnish the Medical Officer daily with
    a list of all prisoners who may be undergoing separate
    treatment, or are in solitary confinement for punish-
    ment.

12. He shall immediately report the death of any
    prisoner to a Visiting Justice, and to the Coroner for
    the district.

13. In case of misconduct on the part of any
    officer, he is empowered to suspend such officer, who
    will not, however, be permitted to leave the establish-
    ment, and he shall immediately report to the Super-
    intendent, or, in case of urgency, he may apply to a
    Visiting Justice for advice and assistance.

14. He shall keep an order book, in which he will
    enter such orders as he may from time to time find
    it necessary to issue.

15. In visiting the female division of the gaol he
    shall be attended by the matron or some female
    officer.

16. He shall, in person or by deputy, visit the
    various messes at their meals, and see that their food
    is of a proper quality, and properly cooked.

17. He shall have the keys of the outer gate
    delivered at his residence at ten p.m. all the year
    round, and he shall ascertain that the officers are all
    present. He will keep the keys until six a.m. in
    summer, and until sunrise at other seasons, and he
    shall not allow egress or ingress during the night,
    except on special occasions, to be noted in his
    journal.

18. He shall as soon as possible after the reception
    of a prisoner into the establishment, cause to be
    entered in the Prison Register the name of such
    prisoner, with his offence, sentence, personal des-
    cription, and any particulars he may discover as to
    his previous history. Every offence the prisoner
    may commit whilst in custody shall also be entered
    in the Defaulters' Book.

19. He will be held responsible for the correct issue
    of the stores and provisions, and that no improper
    appropriation of them is permitted.

20. Should the storekeeper at any time report the
    receipt of an inferior description of rations, the
    gaoler shall call upon the Medical Officer to inspect
    them, and should the contractor, after one warning,
    fail to supply a better quality, the gaoler will obtain
    the articles required elsewhere, at the contractor's
    risk.

21. He shall make a yearly report on the state of
    the establishment, and the conduct of the prisoners
    under his charge.

22. He shall cause the rules of the establishment
    to be read to the prisoners on entry, and as occasion
    may require.

23. He may place any refractory prisoner in irons,
    in accordance with clause 15 of the Gaol Regu-
    lations, immediately reporting the case to a Visiting
    Justice.

24. He will cause to be kept such registers, books,
    or records, and shall furnish such returns as may be
    ordered by the Superintendent.
