he was hospitalized again due to escalating aggression and arson attempt. After leaving the hospital further treatment was recommended at the Mental Health Clinic together with cognitive and behavioural therapy. In 2016 the minor was admitted to a Social Therapy Centre for Youth, where – while staying there since mid-November to mid-December he was hospitalized again due to escalating aggression towards his fellow inmates whom he would beat up, kick and intimidate; he often skipped classes, he also kicked a teacher who did not want to let him out of the classroom. In September 2017 he was again taken to hospital urgently for abusing medications and threatening to strangle himself with a belt, and due to aggressive sexual behaviour towards girls whom he harassed, i.a. by touching their breasts and buttocks. In December he was again admitted to a mental hospital. He was discharged at the end of January 2018 with a recommendation to engage him in behavioural therapy, therapeutic and educational classes, further treatment at Mental Health Clinic and placement in MOW due to escalating demoralization. Interviews with the facility personnel revealed that he is a continuous trouble. He is described as „difficult”, his mental state is unstable, he is often loud, uses coarse language, he prompts conflicts and behaves in a dangerous way. During classes he often demonstrates oppositional defiance. Due to his frequently unpredicted behaviour he is not liked by his mates. During the visit it was found out that he was beaten up by the inmates twice, probably because of his aggressive behaviour towards other inmates. The analysis of documentation also revealed that the minor takes on average 14 psychotropic pills per day. During the visit, the NMPT representatives witnessed the boy becoming aggressive under the influence of his inmates’ aggression towards him, he wanted to attack one of the inmates, after which he started hitting his head against the wall. According to information provided after the visit, as the facility ran out of measures to influence the boy’s behaviour, at a June meeting the facility Team for psychologic and educational support applied for transferring the boy to another facility. Bedroom searching and body search The NMPT representatives underline that the applicable legislation does not authorise MOW personnel to frisk inmates and do body search. One has to bear in mind that body search is a very invasive and potentially humiliating measure which strongly interferes in inmate’s feeling of dignity. Applying such a measure does not contribute to the achievement of educational goals, makes it difficult to build appropriate relations of personnel with inmates, makes the facility thought about as more rigorous and similar to a prison.
