51 Follow-up of recommendations After each visit, the Parliamentary Ombudsman publishes a report describing findings and makes recommendations for preventing torture, inhuman and degrading treatment. Feedback is always requested from each place after three months on how the recommendations are being followed up.1 Feedback received in 2017 shows that the places visited generally appeared to follow up the recommendations in a thorough manner and that they implement measures that are important to reinforcing due process protection and reducing the risk of invasive integrity violations. The Ombudsman also has regular meetings with central government authorities, where the conditions for people deprived of their liberty are raised . Some examples of how the Ombudsman’s recommendations have been followed up in the past year: The detention of children at Trandum Recommendation Following a visit to the police immigration detention centre at Trandum in 2015, it was pointed out that the environment at the immigration detention centre appeared to be characterised by stress and unrest among many of the adult detainees and that such living conditions were not deemed to constitute a satisfactory psychosocial environment for children. The Ombudsman pointed out in his report that the immigration detention centre did not appear to be a suitable place for children. ›› Follow-up In November 2017, it emerged that children are no longer detained at the immigration detention centre at Trandum. If they are to be deprived of their liberty, it must take place in a more suitable place that is less prison-like and where they are shielded from airport noise. All deprivation of children’s liberty, however, entails an increased risk of torture and ill-treatment, and the Ombudsman will closely follow the development of this practice. ›› Exclusion from company Recommendation During a visit to Ila Detention and Security Prison, it emerged that the inmates who were not deemed to be in 'long-term isolation’ risked being offered an activity programme that meant that they had to spend 22 hours or more per day locked in their cells. The Ombudsman recommended that everyone who was excluded from company and isolated in should have access to satisfactory and meaningful measures to compensate for the detrimental effects of isolation. ›› Follow-up Following the visit, a working group was appointed at Ila that was specifically tasked with drawing up measures to compensate for the detrimental effects of isolation for inmates who are isolated for short periods. The group mapped which measures had already been implemented to compensate for the detrimental effects of isolation, and presented proposals for further action. The proposals were considered by the management in light of safety and financial considerations, and measures are scheduled to be implemented in 2018. ›› 1 The follow-up letters and correspondence with the Parliamentary Ombudsman are published on the Ombudsman’s website (in Norwegian).
