Compulsory exercise

(1) Every prisoner unless excused by the Medical Officer on medical grounds
shall take such exercise as may be ordered.

(2) Whenever in the opinion of the Superintendent it is desirable either in
the interests of a prisoner or in the interests of prison discipline, that a
prisoner should perform his labour in a cell, the Superintendent may order him
to do so; and in such case he shall perform such labour as can be suitably
performed in a cell.

(3) The Superintendent shall report to the Commissioner every order given
under the provisions of paragraph (2), and at the expiry of each calendar

considers it desirable, direct that the prisoner returns to work in
association.
