- Undertrial inmates at Central Prison may register at most three phone numbers for family, lawyers or authorised persons.
- A complaint against an approver and a warder can open a police inquiry into how those numbers were entered.
- Calls made through another inmate's registration can trigger action even when the call reaches a spouse.
