SHAVE DAILY
PRISONERS’ COMFORT MAY WRITE MORE LETTERS (By Telegraph.--Press Association) WELLINGTON, Thursday Amendments to the prisons regulations contained in tonight’s Gazette prescribe a 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 authorise prisoners to shave daily if they so desire. Visits are made more liberal 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. Amending regulations also confirm certain improvements to the rations scale, which have been in operation for some time, and, in addition, prescribe for the issue of fresh fruit.
