5.1. Planning and preparing the visits The preventive visits of the NPM are conducted in accordance with a schedule of visits approved in the previous year. Upon selecting a place of detention to inspect, I also appoint the head of the visiting delegation, and the preparations begin. The head of the visiting delegation studies the conclusions and recommendations of the Ombudsman’s reports on investigations conducted at the selected place of detention or other places of detention of the same type, the reports of other National Preventive Mechanisms, international organizations, foreign and domestic civil organizations conducting visits to places of detention, as well as the provisions of the relevant legal regulations. The visiting delegations also check the implementation of my earlier recommendations made in reports on earlier visits made within the frameworks of performing my general fundamental-rights-protections duties. In certain cases, upon the initiative of the head of the visiting delegation, experts by experience possessing practical knowledge of the operation of the selected place of detention are also involved in the visit’s preparation. The reports of the experts by experience contribute to recognizing facts and circumstances potentially resulting in ill-treatment. My Office handles both the personal data and the reports of the experts by experience confidentially.82 Visits are conducted in accordance with the visiting plan drafted by the head of the visiting delegation and approved by me. In addition to naming the place of detention selected, the visiting plan also contains the date and time of the visit, the names and qualifications of the members of the visiting delegation, as well as their official positions. The inspection criteria are approved together with the visiting plan, as an annex thereto. 5.1.1.
