In earlier years there was a strict code of silence but by the 1950s this had relaxed and talking was permitted in the cellhouse and dining hall provided conversations were quiet and there was no shouting, loud talking, whistling or singing.
I de tidlige år var der et strengt stilhedskodeks, men i 1950'erne blev der løsnet op, og det blev tilladt at tale i celleblokken og i spisesalen forudsat at samtalerne var rolige, og at der ikke var råben, højlydt tale, fløjten eller syngen.
