4 In addition to the basically positive overall impression gained by the NPM (or the Corrections Commission) during their visits, the following points should be highlighted as being particularly positive: • From 1 January 2018 onwards, the realignment of the strategy pursued by the State Prison has been implemented. Ever since, the terms of detention served in the Vaduz State Prison have been limited predominantly to pre-trial detentions, deportation and extradition detentions as well as short terms of imprisonment or short alternative terms of imprisonment. Partially conditional sentences of imprisonment as well as prison terms during the months preceding an inmate’s release shall be carried out, if possible and depending on the individual case, in the open prison Saxerriet based on a cooperation agreement existing in this regard. All other types of criminal detention terms continue to be served in Austrian prisons on the basis of the bilateral agreement concerning the transfer of prisoners entered into with Austria in 1983. The NPM still welcomes this strategic realignment even one year after its implementation, because it continues to result in an improvement of the job and rehabilitation opportunities for inmates which would not be possible at the State Prison due to the limited infrastructure there. Most of all, the co-operation with the open prison Saxerriet is given a positive assessment and could be implemented in as many as three cases in 2018. In addition, as already in the past year, in case of a transfer to a foreign prison, we recommend a practice that in any case preserves the principle of equality and guarantees legal certainty for inmates. In addition, if possible, transfers to prisons located nearby should be achieved, in order to make sure that the contact between the inmates and their close family members, which, in each individual case, is at least as important to the inmates’ rehabilitation, is guaranteed to the best possible extent. • Upon reviewing the prison room folder which is handed out to each inmate on the date of his/her admission and which contains information on his/her rights and duties within the State Prison, the NPM noted at the
