Article 28 Changes of clothing
Subject to paragraph (2), the Governor shall ensure that every prisoner has sufficient clothing, whether of their own or provided pursuant to rule 27(1), to enable the prisoner–
to change daily his or her socks and underwear and such other articles of clothing as may be specified in a direction by the Scottish Ministers; and
to have a clean change of other clothing as often as is necessary for the purposes of health and hygiene.
Where the Scottish Ministers consider that it is not practicable, by reason of the circumstances pertaining in, or facilities available at, any prison, to enable prisoners to change daily their socks and underwear or any other article of clothing, they may specify in a direction–
that paragraph (1)(a) shall not apply in relation to prisoners in that prison; or
that in the application of paragraph (1)(a) to prisoners detained in that prison, the frequency with which prisoners shall be able to change socks and underwear shall be at such lesser frequency as is specified in the direction.
