- Every convict on being first put to do any kind of work with which he is not acquainted, shall be allowed a reasonable time (to be fixed by the Superintendent), in which to acquire the necessary skill to enable him to perform the full task. Mental and physical capabilities must be taken into consideration. The time will vary from a few days in the case of grinding or oil-pressing which require but little skill, to three or four months in the case of weaving or carpet-making which require a good deal of skill and a fair amount of intelligence. In every case when allotting new work, the Superintendent, or subject to his control, the Deputy Superintendent, Factory or Deputy Superintendent shall note on the convict's history-ticket the task he is to begin with and every subsequent increase up to the full task.
