Health and Hygiene
All inmates are bathed upon admission and regularly thereafter. If an inmate is found to have a contagious condition, treatment is initiated promptly to protect others. Haircuts are only administered with consent, unless deemed necessary by the medical officer for health reasons.
Dedicated hospital wards are provided for sick inmates, staffed and ventilated as required for proper treatment and segregation by gender.
Accommodation
Inmates may be housed in individual cells or dormitories. Where cells are shared due to capacity or medical needs, no more than three inmates may occupy one cell, and none may be under sentence of death. Dormitory spacing complies with health standards
certified by a medical officer.
Clothing and Bedding
Each convicted inmate receives a standard issue of clothing and bedding appropriate for health and comfort. Personal items are limited and regulated, with excess clothing returned home or stored at the inmate’s risk. Upon release, the inmate’s own clothes are
returned, or suitable alternatives are provided.
Food and Diet
Meals are provided in accordance with approved dietary standards. Requests for dietary variation may be considered on medical grounds. Complaints about diet must be made promptly and may be investigated. Malicious or repetitive false complaints may result in disciplinary action.
