General data The Arresting Unit within the Clinical Centre Skopje is used only for accommodation of convicts who need hospital treatment at one of the clinics in the Clinical Centre, as well as in the course of the stay during the control examinations of the convicts. During the visit to the Arresting Department, 3 convicts were accommodated there for treatment, one of whom suffered from TB and was placed in a separate isolation room. In the Arresting Unit there are permanently engaged officials only by the Prison Police of the Idrizovo Penitentiary. However, the number of engaged prison police officers in the unit is not enough to meet all the security risks that exist in the unit where convicts are housed. In addition to prison police officers, an open-treatment convict has been assigned to the Arresting Unit as an assistant. 134
