CAT/OP/POL/CSPRO/1 facility organisational work sheet, which refers also to the functioning of specific types of schools, e.g. hiring qualified teaching staff who will ensure proper educational classes adjusted to the educational requirements and abilities of learners and who will prepare them adequately to external examinations at the respective levels of education. Both the organisation of the schools and the documentation of teaching process is subject to the provisions on education applicable to regular schools. 153. The educational process and educational results of learners educated in juvenile detention centres are subject to external and internal control. As for general education subjects, the schools are subject to the control exercised by the competent Education Supervisor (Kurator Oświaty), while any remaining aspects of schooling are controlled by the Minister of Justice. 154. To exercise the educational supervision and general supervision, the representatives of the Ministry of Justice supervise the functioning of juvenile detention centres and their schools on an ongoing basis, evaluate the schools’ work, and no less frequently than in once in 5 years they carry out inspections concerning the overall functioning of facilities, including schools. 155. Educational activities at the schools functioning in juvenile detention centres and youth temporary detention centres are subject to the same quality assessment as activities with learners at public schools. Judges delegated to the Ministry of Justice appointed as inspectors conduct each year an evaluation of such schools in accordance with the requirements set in the ordinance issued by the Minister of National Education. 156. Regarding para 126 of the report, coercive physical measures against minors, including placement in solitary confinement, are applied only in exceptional circumstances if psychological and pedagogical corrective efforts are ineffective. The option of applying the measure of solitary confinement as a coercive physical measure against minors is regulated by the Act on Juvenile Delinquency Proceedings (consolidated text, Journal of Laws of 2018, item 969), the Act on Coercive Measures and Firearms (consolidated text, Journal of Laws of 2017, item 1839) and the Ordinance of the Minister of Justice on security cell and solitary confinement room (Journal of Laws of 2013, item 638). 157. Whenever a minor detainee is to be placed in a solitary confinement room, the aforementioned regulations and procedures applicable in the facility are respected. Under such regulations and procedures, any case of solitary confinement applied to a minor detainee is properly documented with the use of video surveillance and relevant entries are made in relevant documents. The Department of Family and Juvenile Matters, as part of its supervision activities, imposed an obligation on the directors of juvenile detention facilities and youth temporary detention facilities to provide detailed information on the use of coercive measures together with video surveillance material. Conclusions and recommendations arising from the exercised supervision are communicated to the directors on an ongoing basis or during briefings. The accumulated analysis of the use of coercive measures carried out in 2017 and 2018 did not show any irregularities in terms of exceeding the solitary confinement period allowed by the provisions of law. 158. The Department of Family and Juvenile Matters will continue to pay particular attention to its supervision of the use of coercive measures against minors, including the measure of solitary confinement. 159. It should be added that the recommendation specified in point 126 may be subject to a further analysis. It needs to be taken into account, however, that in the case of the Polish Criminal Code, the age of criminal liability is, as a rule, 17 years. 160. Regarding to para. 128 of the report, the priority in the supervision activities conducted by the Department of Family and Juvenile Matters is to verify how the directors and employees of juvenile detention centres ensure that minor detainees’ rights are respected. One of such rights is a right to the protection of family ties and a right to contact the world outside, exercised by means of visits or phone calls. The rules governing phone calls or visits are specified in detail in the organisational rules of specific facilities. Detainees have a guaranteed possibility of meeting visitors in special rooms, without direct presence of the facility’s staff. 35
