Corrections Act 2004, s 69, 70; Corrections Regulations 2005, reg 157, Schedule 6
This is where you’re confined to a cell as a punishment for 23 hours a day. Your punishment will last a set number of days, as decided by the Hearing Adjudicator or Visiting Justice who ordered the punishment. You’ll either be in your own cell or in a separate smaller unit (these smaller units are often called “the pound” or “separates”).
When you’re confined to a cell you must be provided with running water, lights and electricity.
You’ll be given at least one hour a day to shower and exercise. However, you’ll shower and exercise by yourself. While on cell confinement you won’t see any other prisoners, whether from the general prison population or other prisoners on cell confinement. The point of cell confinement is to keep you on your own.
