ANNUAL REPORT ON THE RESULTS OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE INSTITUTION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS OMBUDSMAN OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Example: A prisoner serving his sentence in Busovača Prison 293 addressed the Federal Ministry of Justice asking permission to work outside the prison, but the permission was not granted. He wonders why as he already uses the benefits out-of-the establishment, regularly reports to the police station and returns to the prison on time. During the investigation the Federal Ministry of Justice 294 replied to the Ombudsman's inquiry by a letter that reads: „...The Ministry had in mind that this is a convicted person whose re-socialization treatment takes place without difficulties, but considering the gravity of the crime, the ratio of imprisonment served, convinced that giving consent would not achieve the purpose of punishment, especially in terms of victim's satisfaction, this Ministry has not given its consent for sending a convicted person to work outside the institution while serving his prison sentence...“ 7.3.5. Education Every prison shall seek to provide all prisoners with access to educational programmes which are as comprehensive as possible and which meet their individual needs while taking into account their aspirations. 295 The education of persons deprived of liberty, especially prisoners, is the best way of their resocialization, including the right to primary and secondary education and the right to vocational training through theoretical and practical training in prison workshops. Special attention must be paid to the education of young prisoners. Example: Upon arrival at the prison, a convicted person serving his sentence in the Doboj Prison expressed interest in part-time education, in order to complete the Secondary Traffic School in Doboj, arguing that his mother is willing to bear the costs of his part-time education. 296 In the course of its investigation, the Ombudsman received a letter from the Doboj Prison 297 whereby the prison management informs Ombudspersons that the Prison's social worker visited High Traffic School in Doboj where she was informed that part-time education in this school is not possible since it is legally restricted to persons below the age of 18, but there is another possibility under the Republika Srpska Law on Education of Adults 298. The Center for Education of Adults, however, did not organize the courses in the academic year 2018/2019 due to the lack of interest, so that the prisoner could not be enrolled there. But, the Center is at disposal to the prisoner and is willing to organize the completion of his secondary education in any secondary school in Doboj Town. Since his mother is ready to bear costs of his education she was invited to actively participate in implementation of this idea. officers, maintain a greenhouse that produced 5.5 tons of vegetables last year, which is used for their needs. Within the Tuzla Prison, the Kozlovac Department also produces food through greenhouse production, which largely meets the needs of convicts in this institution. In the Trebinje Prison, the convicts also contribute to society through their engagement in the semi-open economic department in Duži, where piglet and laying hen farms have been established. The production of eggs and meat and the sale of meat is sufficient to meet their needs and partly the needs of the community. 293 Ž-SA-07-530/19 294 No.: 04-49-1743/19 dated 06 June 2019 295 European Prison Rules, Part II 28.1. 296 Ž-SA-07-943/19 297 No. 03-241-3143/19 dated 07 November 2019 298 Official Gazette of Republika Srpska, no. 59/2009 73
