6 rules of competence allocation in line with European penitentiary standards. 2.2 Inmates with mental disorders The NPM has already highlighted in the past that the Liechtenstein State Prison is increasingly confronted with inmates with mental disorders for whom the State Prison is not a suitable institution to offer professional care. On the one hand, the behaviour of inmates with mental disorders may have a negative effect on the state of other inmates and cause anxiety. On the other hand, these cases also require the prison officers to increase their workload even further and to act with an even greater degree of professionalism. The NPM has been informed that the Ministry for Home Affairs, Education and Environment has now set up a working group which deals with the topics of involuntary commitment and commitment of prison inmates with mental disorders. The NPM welcomes the related clarifications which are currently being made, and looks forward to receiving a result from the working group soon. 2.3 Initial medical examination The NPM was under the impression that an initial examination by the prison’s physician is not performed in time on all prisoners upon their admission to the institution. The NPM takes the liberty to recall that § 125(6) of the Liechtenstein Penitentiary System Act (StVG) provides that all prisoners must undergo a medical examination upon their admission or as soon as possible. Likewise, the Council of Europe Prison Rules no. 16 and no. 42.1 state that all prisoners must be presented to the medical staff after their admission as soon as possible and that an examination must be conducted unless this is obviously unnecessary.
