L. Paul Bremer, Coalition Provisional Authority

“ Where prisoners are employed in work not controlled by the administration, they
shall always be under the supervision of the institution's personnel. Unless the
work is for other departments of the government the full normal wages for such
work shall be paid to the administration by the persons to whom the labor is
supplied, account being taken of the output of the prisoners. ”

“ If the institution contains a sufficient number of prisoners of the same religion, a
qualified representative of that religion shall be appointed or approved. If the
number of prisoners justifies it and conditions permit, the arrangement should be
on a full-time basis.
2) A qualified representative appointed or approved under paragraph (1) shall be
allowed to hold regular services and to pay pastoral visits in private to prisoners
of his religion at proper times.
3) Access to a qualified representative of any religion shall not be refused to any
prisoner. ”

“ All money, valuables, clothing and other effects belonging to a prisoner which
under the regulations of the institution he is not allowed to retain shall on his
admission to the institution be placed in safe custody. An inventory thereof shall
be signed by the prisoner. Steps shall be taken to keep them in good condition. ”

“ Systems of privileges appropriate for the different classes of prisoners and the
different methods of treatment shall be established at every institution, in order to
encourage good conduct, develop a sense of responsibility and secure the interest and
cooperation of the prisoners in their treatment. ”

“ When prisoners are being removed to or from an institution, they shall be exposed
to public view as little as possible and proper safeguards shall be adopted to
protect them from insult, curiosity and publicity in any form. ”

“ Drinking water shall be available to every prisoner whenever he needs it.
Section 9
Exercise and Sport
Every prisoner who is not employed in outdoor work shall have at least one hour of
suitable exercise in the open air daily if the weather permits. ”

“ Every institution shall have a library for the use of all categories of prisoners,
adequately stocked with both recreational and instructional books, and prisoners shall
be encouraged to make full use of it. ”

“ Except in special circumstances, staff performing duties that bring them into
direct contact with prisoners should not be armed. Furthermore, staff should in no
circumstances be provided with arms unless they have been trained in their use. ”

“ Women prisoners shall be attended and supervised only by women officers. This
does not, however, preclude male members of the staff, particularly doctors and
teachers, from carrying out their professional duties in institutions or parts of
institutions set aside for women. ”

“ In order that prisoners may maintain a good appearance compatible with their self-
respect, facilities shall be provided for the proper care of the hair and beard, and
men shall be enabled to shave regularly. ”

“ To ensure these standards are met, the Administrator will remain in full control of
the Iraqi prison system and may at any time amend this Memorandum as
necessary, or direct other action with respect to the prison system. ”
