Upon release, prisoners shall be provided with appropriate documents and identification papers, be suitably clothed and have sufficient means to reach their immediate destinations. They are to be assisted by services or agencies in locating suitable homes and work. Representatives of such agencies shall have access to prisoners during their term of incarceration and be taken into consultation as to the future of each prisoner from the beginning of his sentence. Prisoners suffering from other mental abnormalities shall be observed and treated in specialized institutions under medical management and steps shall be taken to ensure the continuation of care after release. They shall be held separately from convicted prisoners, and the young kept separate from adults.
Prisoners awaiting trial are to sleep singly in separate rooms.
An untried prisoner may procure at his own expense or that of a third party books, publications and writing materials. Treatment by an untried prisoner's own doctor or dentist is to be allowed under reasonable grounds, and if the prisoner is willing to pay for the expenses incurred. An untried prisoner shall be allowed to inform his family of his detention immediately after arrest and communicate with and receive visits from family and friends. He shall be allowed to apply for free legal aid where such aid is available, and to consult with his legal adviser regarding his defence. Such interviews may be within sight but not within the hearing of a police or institution official.
