liberty of the rules

liberty of the rules
A privilege, which was sometimes allowed an imprisoned debtor, of living outside the prison, but within prescribed limits. The territory or district, which is also called "bounds," surrounding the walls of a jail or prison, where a prisoner who has been accorded the "liberty of the prison rules" may go. Ever since the establishment of the prison rules in England, the courts there have held the rules as being in effect an extension of the walls of the jail. The jailer is not bound to allow a prisoner the liberty of the prison rules, unless he shall give bond and security not to depart therefrom. Steinman v Tabb, 6 Ky (3 Bibb) 202.
