206. Prisoners are not to leave school or Divine service without being regularly dismissed, and
     no prisoner shall on any pretence leave the ranks at muster, or his work during labour hours, or his
     allotted place at labour, without permission of the officer in whose charge he may be at the time.

207. At all musters prisoners are required to be in their places in the ranks immediately upon the
     ringing of the bell.

     all Visitors to the prison.

210. Prisoners are to be attentive and diligent in performing all duties that may be assigned to
     them. They are on no account to be idle during the fixed hours of labour, but must continue to devote
     themselves actively to the work of the day. They shall, when necessary, apply to the instructor for
     direction as to the manner of performing their work. Any wilful or negligent mismanagement of

     or other gentlemen who, in a public capacity, may visit the gaol; but only in the cases of departmental
     officials and Visiting Justices can it be promised that prisoners will be granted interviews. Prisoners

     punishment.

214. On hearing the cell-door unlocked, prisoners, unless in bed, must stand to attention in the
     centre of the cell, facing the door, hands to the side, and heels close together.

215. Prisoners in their cells desiring assistance should communicate to the officer on duty by
     using the semaphores; but on no account may the semaphore be used unnecessarily.

     (except on parade), or being examined, photographed, having his finger-prints or measurements taken,
     or his property examined.

     during the whole term of his sentence unless the Medical Officer certifies that he is unable to perform
     the work allotted to him.

     any such letter or parcel being conveyed from or to a prisoner contrary to this regulation. The
     Gaoler is further required to detain any such letter or parcel that may appear to him to affect
     the discipline or security of the prison, and to lay the same before the Inspector or a Visiting Justice,
     who shall be empowered to detain the same and to take such action concerning it as to him may seem
     necessary.

221. No prisoner shall be allowed to communicate with a prisoner in any other prison except by
     the permission of the Inspector.

     happening within the prison or concerning any matter connected with the discipline of the prison or
     the treatment of prisoners.

223. All letters must contain their whole meaning clearly expressed in the English language,
     save in the case of Maoris and foreigners, who may write in their own language, but every letter so
     written must be forwarded through the Under-Secretary.

224. All letters must be on the authorized form. In addition to the periods in which letters may be
     despached and received under Regulation No. , the Gaoler may, under special circumstances, allow
     letters to be forwarded or received at any time.

225. Prisoners shall not be allowed to receive or despatch any letters containing, in the opinion of
     the Gaoler, any objectionable matter.
