It covers:
- property that can be kept in prison and rules on storage
- the quantities of property that are allowed (volumetric control)
- sending in and sending out property
- searching, recording, storing and issuing property
- handling property when a prisoner is transferred or released
- handling unclaimed, unauthorised or unattributable property
