CRIMES (ADMINISTRATION OF SENTENCES) REGULATION 2014 - REG 80

80 Inmates confined to cell not entitled to visits

(1) An inmate who is confined to cell is not entitled to be visited except in the case of--

(a) a visit to discuss or transact legal business, or

(b) a visit by a diplomatic or consular representative, or

(c) a visit by a field officer of the Aboriginal Legal Service (NSW/ACT) Limited or a similar organisation approved by the Commissioner, or

(d) a visit by a government official engaged on official duties, or

(e) a visit by an Official Visitor.

(2) Despite subclause (1), the governor of a correctional centre may permit an inmate who is confined to cell to receive visits from the inmate's family and friends if, in the governor's opinion, it is appropriate to do so to avoid hardship (for example, if family or friends have travelled a long way to make the visit).
