The Rajasthan Prisons Rules, 2022State Rules of Rajasthan · 1894

(1) Every Head Warder responsible for a jail or section of jail shall examine daily during the afternoon watch all locks used for securing wards, cells or main gates within his charge to ascertain that they are in good working order.

(2) Any lock out of order shall forthwith be brought to the Jailor.

(3) Lever locks must not be oiled with vegetable oil, as it causes the levers to stick together and thus renders the lock easy to pick.

(4) The keys of wards, cells, godowns or any other place of which the security must be assured shall not be put into the hands of a convict officer or of any prisoners.

(5) If convict officers are allowed to have common padlocks and keys for temporarily locking up tools or material in their charge during the day-time, the keys shall be taken from them before the lock-up.

(6) In every week, Assistant. Jailor, in charge of their wards or cells and Head Warder shall cause all grating, locks of jail to be checked and an inspection report shall be submitted to the Jailor who shall record it in his Order book.
