74 9. Persons deprived of their liberty at the places of detention visited by the NPM a headgear. As far as they knew, the guards deleted the video recordings showing these cases of abuse. In order to verify the statements of the detainees, I asked the warden of the Institution to provide me with the video recordings made at various times and on various days. At first, instead of the recordings made at the time indicated by me, I received the recordings of the next day. When I called the warden’s attention to the error, he also sent me the recordings that I had requested. In one of the videos, it is clearly visible as the guards handcuff a detainee to the radiator by his hands, and put a headgear-like object on his head. According to the recording of about 30 minutes, several persons going by – detainees and staff members alike – saw the detainee handcuffed to the radiator, but none of them were shocked by the sight. After about half an hour, the guards took off the handcuffs from the detainee’s hands. Based on this video, it could not be established with certainty whether the guards had abused the detainee handcuffed to the radiator or not. According to the information received from the Budapest Remand Prison, the guards handcuffed the detainee shown in the video to the radiator in order to prevent self-harm and eventual attacks. The protective headgear used in boxing was put on the detainee’s head to prevent any eventual head injuries caused by self-harm. I asked the Prosecutor General to inquire into the practice of the Budapest Remand Prison concerning the attaching of detainees to objects. I initiated that the Director General of the Hungarian Prison Service prohibit the handcuffing of detainees to objects. According to the detainees, the Budapest Remand Prison barely provides any programmes for them. Most of them just watch television, and go outside to get some fresh air. I asked the head of the Budapest Remand Prison to take action to ensure that the detainees could choose from a variety of programmes as broad as possible, and that the personnel strive to involve as many detainees in the programmes as possible. I pointed out that reintegration officers should make a constant effort to involve as many detainees in the individual activities as possible. The Institution’s effort to provide educational possibilities for the detainees should be maintained. The detainees’ diet did not contain enough fruit and vegetables, milk and dairy products. The carbohydrate content of special diets was uneven. There were cases when due to the quick deterioration and belated replacement of the poor-quality cutlery at their disposal, the detainees had to eat without cutlery. I initiated that the warden of the Budapest Remand Prison ensure appropriate catering for the detainees – including the steady carbohydrate content of special diets –, and provide for the immediate replacement of deteriorated cutlery. Pursuant to the authorisation stipulated in Section 247(2)sz) of Act CLIV of 1997 on Healthcare (hereinafter the “Healthcare Act”), the Minister re-
