completing these courses are awarded with certificates. In Portugal, such courses give a significant result for solution of the employment problem of such former prisoners. The Ombudsman suggests considering the option of using the mentioned practice. Penitentiary institutions should try to provide all prisoners with maximum wide opportunities to use education/training programs meeting their individual demands and relevant standards. Education/training of young prisoners and those in special need should be paid a special attention at: Education/training of prisoners should be: (a) integrated into the nationwide education/training and vocational training system to enable them to continue their education and vocational training after getting freedom; (b) implemented under guardianship of education/training facilities outside.57 Furthermore, there is a need to implement improvement works at some psychiatric institutions under the Ministry of Health. In addition to infrastructure problems at Psychiatric Hospitals of the Ministry of Health, located in Ganja and Sheki cities, improvement of the work of the personnel of these facilities are also among the key needs. There is a need to expand application of UN Principles for Protection of Persons with Mental Illness & Improvement of Mental Health Care, European Minimum Standards for Accommodation Conditions for and Treatment of Persons Mental Illness and recommendations of the SPT and the CPT at psychiatric institutions. The Ombudsman thinks that the provisions of the mentioned documents should be considered a guiding start and pillar in parallel to implementation to the national legislation. Also, reforms performed in the system of the Ministry of Education, projects and programs implemented to guarantee and realize the education rights of citizens, raised initiatives, capital restoration and reconstruction of education facilities to improve the accommodation conditions, and continuous works to restore the logistics of these facilities are also observed. We are of the opinion that reorganization of those institutions the activity of which is regulated by the legislation is rather necessary. The rules of detention, education and upbringing of juveniles should be improved considering their ages, as well as psychological status and health, also the environment for psychological correction basing on the individual social – psychological diagnosis of the persons committed delinquency should be enhanced as well; organization of sanitation educational measures system, socially useful employment, efficient day assignment including leisure time of pupils, maximal protection of pupils from negative cases should be undoubtedly ensured. 57 European Penitentiary Rules, Clause 28 65
