A prisoner who is on remand may opt to work and, if having so opted and been permitted to work —
that prisoner is subsequently acquitted or is not sentenced to a term of imprisonment, that prisoner shall be paid all of that prisoner's token earnings in respect of such work as that prisoner had undertaken whilst in prison; or
he is subsequently convicted and sentenced to a term of imprisonment, the period during which that prisoner has been on remand shall, unless the court otherwise directs, be counted as part of that prisoner's sentence and that prisoner shall in any case be entitled to receive that prisoner's token earnings for such work.
A prisoner who has not been convicted may, if that prisoner wishes and on such terms and conditions as the Director may from time to time consider necessary, be supplied with meals whilst in prison, either at that prisoner's own expense or otherwise, and such personal comforts as may be permitted by standing orders made under this Act.
