- Every prisoner in a jail shall at all times, both by day and night be in charge of some officer, in such a manner that responsibility for an escape resulting from negligence, can be definitely fixed. A record of the names of prisoners made over to each officer during the day shall be kept in a gang-book and every subsequent change of a prisoner from one gang to another, shall be recorded therein under the authority and signatures of an officer not under the rank of a head warder, who likewise at every change of guard shall be present to witness and verify the number of prisoners made over to the relieving officer. The outer walls of the jail shall be watched by day by convict-officers.
