- Where the prisoners actually assault officers of the prison or attempt to break out of any ward or yard and the officer considers that it would be dangerous to delay until the arrival of the other officers of the prison, that officer will dispatch a party to the spot with orders to rescue the officer and prevent the prisoners from breaking out. The officer on arriving at the scene of disturbance, shall give notice to the prisoners in a loud tone, that, if they do not immediately surrender, they will be fired upon. This warning shall, if circumstances admit of delay, be repeated twice, and if there appears no other means of quelling the disturbance, the officer shall direct his men to open fire upon the refractory prisoners, which he shall stop, the moment they fly or surrender. On the arrival of the Superintendent/Assistant Superintendent/Jailor or the Superintendent of Police, the guard will act under their orders.
