-
A servant will be allowed to the gaoler, and one or more to the officers, as may be required for the purpose of cooking and cleaning their apartments, such servants to be employed only with the sanction of a visiting Justice, and to be selected from the well-conducted prisoners serving short sentences.
-
Harsh or irritating language must not be used by any person in authority, for calmness and firmness will be found best calculated to ensure obedience. No communication is to be held with the prisoners except such as is indispensable, and on such occasions officers should not so demean themselves as in any way to irritate or annoy.
-
A monthly inspection of the prisoners, prison buildings, bedding, and stores, for which the officers of the establishment shall have everything in readiness, will be held by the visiting Justices and the medical officer.
