698. Supply of food to civil prisoners when subsistence allowance is provided.
(1)Every civil prisoner for whom a subsistence allowance is provided may be supplied with food, clothing, bedding and other necessaries by his friends at such hours as the Superintendent may from time to time fix in that behalf. When any civil prisoner is supplied with food, clothing and other necessaries by his friends, the subsistence allowance shall be made over to the prisoner.(2)When any such prisoner is not supplied with food by his friends, the Deputy Superintendent shall supply him with good and wholesome food according to the prisoner's own choice, provided the daily cost does not exceed the daily subsistence allowance received on account of such prisoner. If the daily cost of food is less than the sum allowed, the balance shall be made over to the prisoner.
