Article 28 Special duties of chaplains and appointed ministers

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

The chaplain or a minister appointed to a young offender institution shall—

(a)

interview every inmate of his denomination individually as soon as he reasonably can after the inmate’s reception into that institution and shortly before his release; and

(b)

if no other arrangements are made, read the burial service at the funeral of any inmate of his denomination who dies in that institution.

(2)

The chaplain shall visit daily all inmates belonging to the Church of England who are sick, under restraint or confined to a room or cell; and a minister appointed to a young offender institution shall do the same, as far as he reasonably can, for inmates of his own denomination.

(3)

If the inmate is willing, the chaplain shall visit any inmate not of the Church of England who is sick, under restraint or confined to a room or cell, and is not regularly visited by a minister of his own denomination.
