S.L. 260.3 ст. 8Prisoner’s property.

(1) An unconvicted prisoner may keep, if he has them with him on his admission to prison, or have supplied to him at his expense and retain for his own use, books, newspapers, writing materials and other means of occupation, unless this is objectionable to the Director on the grounds that they are not compatible with the interest of the administration of justice or the security or good order of the prison.

(2) Any money or other effects in the possession of a prisoner which are connected or reasonable suspected to be connected with an offence shall be handed over by the Director to the Police to be dealt with according to law. If any other effects in the possession of a prisoner are of a perishable or dangerous nature they shall, on the order of the Director, be destroyed. If a prisoner brings into the prison any medicines the Director shall decide what use shall be made of them after obtaining the advice of the Medical Officer.

(3) Anything, other than money, not falling under the preceding sub-regulations, whether brought by the prisoner himself or sent or brought to him for his use while in prison, which the prisoner is, for any reason, not allowed to retain by the Director, shall be withdrawn from him by the Director and shall be recorded in the prisoners’ effects inventory which the prisoner shall be required to sign after being given a proper opportunity to see that it is correct. Such property shall be kept for the prisoner in the custody of the Director until the prisoner’s release.

(4) Any money which a prisoner is not allowed to retain by the Director, whether brought by the prisoner or sent or brought to him at the prison, shall be paid into an account under the control of the Director and the prisoner shall be credited with the amount in the books of the prison until his release.

(5) If a prisoner requests that any money or property falling under sub-regulations (1), (3) or (4) be handed over to a relative or friend, the Director shall give effect to such a request against a receipt by the said relative or friend, provided that the said relative or friend is not a prisoner.

(6) The prisoner shall be given a receipt for any money and effects withdrawn from him and shall give a receipt to the Director when they are returned to him.

(7) Any article belonging to a prisoner which remains unclaimed for a period of more than two years after he leaves prison or dies while in prison may be disposed of in favour of any appropriate after-care organisation or victims fund approved by the Director.

(8) The Director may confiscate any unauthorised article found in the possession of a prisoner.
