Part XIV

Section 53

(1)

A woman or girl may be placed in a grade called the Penal Grade by order of the Warden, if she is satisfied that such woman or girl is a bad influence, idle or ill-conducted. No woman or girl shall be placed in the Penal Grade longer than is necessary in the interests of herself or others. While in the Penal Grade such woman or girl shall not work with other women or girls.

(2)

A woman or a girl shall not be promoted in grade, except after full consideration of the circumstances of her case by a Board, called the "Place of

Safety Board", composed of such officers as the Superintendent may decide. The

Board may also order reversion to a lower grade, if, for some reason other than an act of misconduct, they consider it desirable.
