ANNUAL REPORT 2019-OMBUDSMANNATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM equipped, which indicates the conclusion emphasized by the convicts themselves for unequal treatment and division of privileged and discriminated. Namely, some of the convicted persons with whom the conversations were conducted pointed out that most often during the treatment by the officials and the accommodation in the premises there is an influence based on the nationality, that is, ethnicity of the convicted person, as well as on the social/property status. Thus, the second wing was pointed out as an example, where more than 90% of Roma convicts were housed and where the inventory consists of old tables, chairs and beds, broken windows and only one old exercise device. The temperature and humidity in the rooms are generally within acceptable limits. Convicted persons take care of the hygiene in the premises, due to which the level of hygiene is different in each of the premises. Some of the toilets for the convicts had low levels of hygiene, damaged toilets, dysfunctional showers, and broken mirrors that could be used as items for injury/self-harm. There are 3 walking areas for the convicts, which the convicts themselves arrange and improve. In the walking area intended for convicts in the admission unit and for those who are serving a disciplinary punishment - solitary confinement, there are no leisure facilities (benches, etc.), nor is there a covered part that would enable uninterrupted walks of the people in the open, regardless of the weather conditions. The dining room has a number of tables and chairs that are attached to the floor, and in addition to dining, this room is also used for visiting convicts who are accommodated in the closed unit. Within the Institution there is a specially equipped gym intended for the convicts. Convicts who intend to exercise in the gym, report to one of the convicts who registers them and prepares a special exercise schedule. The penitentiary also has a room equipped with tools and means for wood processing, sewing and hair-cutting by convicts, and there is a separate room with computers where the convicts are taught to work with computers. The Children’s Corner, which is a novelty in the Prison, is also a positive example that other penitentiary institutions should follow. This room is used for visits to convicts by their minor children every Friday, with prior notice. The room is well equipped as a children’s playroom, and there is a projector used for various trainings. The medical office in the penitentiary consists of an examination room, a therapy room, a pharmacy and two hospital rooms. From the inspection in the office it was evident that the equipment is at a satisfactory level, that is, the medical office has a stethoscope, pressure apparatus, otoscope, thermometer, etc. There is a defibrillator, but it cannot be used because the medical staff does not have any education for this type of equipment. The office lacks an ECG portable, an oxygen mask, and so on. The facility also has a well-equipped dental office that has the basic equipment, but the office is not used because there is no dentist. 110
