AMENDMENTS MADE TO REGULATIONS
DOMINION PRISON LAWS (United Press Association) „WELLINGTON, September 12. Amendments to the Prisons Regulations contained in tonight’s Gazette prescribe for the routine medical examination of every prisoner on reception. They confirm the practice of prisoners being permitted at the discretion of the controlling officers to have their own shaving outfits and authorize the prisoners to shave daily if they so desire. Visits are liberalized and under the new regulations prisoners are to be permitted to write a letter a day instead of one a week as previously. Prisoners will also be permitted to wear their own private clothes after working hours. The amending regulations also regularize certain improvements to the rations scale which has been in operation for some time past, and in addition prescribe for the issuance of fresh fruit.
