By Telegraph—Press Association.
LIBERALISED CONDITIONS
Wellington, Last Night. Amendments to the Prisons Regulations contained in to-night's Gazette prescribe for a routine medical examination of every prisoner on reception. They confirm the practice of prisoners being permitted at the discretion of controlling officers to have their own shaving outfits and authorise prisoners to shave daily if they so desire. Visits are liberalised 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 he permitted to wear their own private clothes after working hours. The regulations also regularise certain improvements to the rations scale which have been in operation for some time and in addition prescribe issues of fresh fruit.
