Regulation 38

If the Superintendent of a prison considers it desirable, a prisoner in the prison must, so far as is practicable, be encouraged and assisted to maintain or establish any relations with persons or agencies outside the prison that may promote the best interests of the prisoner’s family or the prisoner’s social rehabilitation.

The Superintendent of a prison may at any time communicate (or authorise communication) to a prisoner in the prison or to the prisoner’s family or friends, any matter of importance to the prisoner.
