that such Superintendent shall without delay communicate his reason
for doing so, to the Inspector General for report to Government.

231. No books or printed papers shall be admitted into any prison
for the use of the prisoners, except by permission of the
Superintendent, and the jailor shall keep a catalogue of all books
