S.L. 260.3 Art. 5Urgent personal problems.

(1) On admission to prison, prisoners shall be assisted, as far as practicable, to resolve their urgent personal problems.

(2) On such admission every prisoner shall have the right to inform of his imprisonment, through the Director, his spouse, if he is married, or his nearest relative or any other person indicated by him. If he does not wish to do so no person shall be informed of his imprisonment unless there are over-riding reasons such as the age, state of mind or other incapacity of the prisoner.

(3) Unconvicted prisoners shall be given facilities to contact a legal adviser of their choice and to apply, where necessary, for free legal aid.
