§ Mr. MellorFood will be accepted provided that it is not in need of preparation and where it requires early consumption it is limited to 24 hours supply. Nonperishable food will be accepted in a reasonable quantity. Food and drink in potentially dangerous containers will not be accepted unless it can be conveniently removed from the container before issue. The governor has discretion to refuse food which is manifestly unsuitable or in unreasonable quantities. Additionally, the privilege of receiving food and drink may be withdrawn if it is abused.
These restrictions apply to all unconvicted prisoners including those placed provisionally in category A.
