Section 73
(1)
Every visitor to a detained person shall furnish the Superintendent or an officer authorised by the Superintendent with his name and address and, if the Superintendent or such officer has any ground for suspicion, he may search or cause to be searched male visitors and may direct a female 344
officer to search female visitors, but such search shall not take place in the presence of any detained person or of another visitor.
(2)
If any visitor refuses to be searched or if a Superintendent or such authorised officer is of opinion that the admission of such visitor would be prejudicial to security or good order in the place of detention, the Superintendent or such officer may deny him admission, recording the grounds of his refusal in the journal.
( 3 ) If any article is found as the result of a search which, in the opinion of a Superintendent or such authorised officer, is prohibited by the rules of the place of detention or likely to be dangerous to the health or life of any detained person or likely to facilitate escape from the place of detention, he may impound such article.
