10. Dialogue on the measures taken by the NPM
this issue, the representative of the Ministry of Justice deemed it necessary
to draft a detailed pre-legislative concept.
On July 5, 2018, the Ministry of Human Capacities and the Ministry of
Justice sent a draft proposal to the members of the Working Group, in which,
after the description of the current situation, including the institutional developments, it was outlined how the current problems can be remedied.
The participants of the third meeting of the Working Group held on
September 24, 2018,200 discussed the draft proposal revised on the basis of
their comments. There was agreement on that the institution planned to
be set up would ensure the placement of those persons receiving compulsory treatment and having no protective family background in the case of
whom the threat of recidivism is so low that they can be placed in a less restrictive type of institution, where, however, individual case management
will become necessary, in order to ensure the adaptation needed for the
protection of the patients and the staff.
In the draft proposal that was made as a result of the activities of the
Working Group, such legislation was proposed which would allow the detainees receiving compulsory treatment to use services provided by a social
care institution, still within the legal framework of the penitentiary system.
The representatives of the Ministry of Justice informed the members of the
Working Group that the ministry would send the draft proposal on setting up the Special Provisional Institute for Mental Patients, suitable for the
placement of 25 detainees, to the Ministry of Human Capacities.
