The Director of the Department of Corrections shall have full power and authority to make, repeal, alter or amend such rules and regulations, not inconsistent with law, for the maintenance, discipline and conduct of the County jail, prisoners, and employees placed under his supervision or control, as may be necessary and convenient for the proper administration of the power, authority and discretion conferred upon him.

Each prisoner sentenced to serve a term in the County jail shall be entitled to a diminution of the period of his confinement as follows. For each calendar month commencing on the first day of the month next after his arrival at the County jail, or on June 1, 1967, for each prisoner confined therein at that time, during which he shall not be guilty of a violation of the discipline or any of the rules thereof and shall labor with diligence and fidelity, he shall be allowed a deduction of five (5) days each month of the period of the commitment or sentence. For each and every violation of the rules and discipline of the County jail, or want of fidelity or care in the performance of work or lack of industry, the person therein confined shall not only forfeit all gained time in the month in which such delinquency occurs, but, according to the aggravated nature or frequency of his offense, the Director may deduct a portion or all of his gained time for good conduct earned prior thereto.

The Director of the Department of Corrections shall issue and maintain written rules and regulations, not inconsistent with law, concerning strip searches.
