104 10. Dialogue on the measures taken by the NPM I have proposed that Minister of Human Capacities Decree 1/2015 (I. 14.) EMMI on the operation of reformatory institutions (hereinafter the “Operation Decree”) to be amended in order to achieve that the policing authorities are able to ensure permanent supervision. The Secretary of State206 supported the increase of the headcount norm of the staff of the policing authorities specified in Appendix 1 of the Operation Decree to 8 but he considered this feasible from 2020 the earliest, due to the coordination efforts preceding the amendment of the law. The Secretary of State agreed with the idea that the contact held by young foreign nationals raised in correctional facilities should be ensured in the same way and to the same extent as for their Hungarian counterparts and he promised that the ministry would prepare the amendment of the Operation Decree by keeping this circumstance in mind. The Secretary of State thinks that my initiatives concerning family consultations and family therapy would be feasible through amending the Prison Code (Act CCXL of 2013 on the Enforcement of Sentences, Measures, Certain Coercive Measures, and Detention). In my response, I maintain my position, i.e. that the change proposed to the Operation Decree could significantly improve the situation.207 The Hungarian Directorate-General for Social Affairs and Child Protection and the management of the Institution prepared an action plan for the implementation of the recommendations, which was sent to me by the Director-General of the Hungarian Directorate-General for Social Affairs and Child Protection (hereinafter the “HDG for SACP”).208 I was informed by the Secretary of State that the preparation of the budget impact calculations required for the extra resources to cover the costs of the repair work and refurbishments to be done in Debrecen has commenced.209 The director of the correctional facility presented the action plan for the implementation of the recommendations, and reported on the amendment of the founding regulations, which created an opportunity for the distribution of places according to the needs at any time, as well as for the establishment of special groups for youngsters with disability.210 The director ensured that young 206 207 208 209 210 Letter No. 24481-19/2018/GYERGYÁM of the Secretary of State for Social Affairs and Social Inclusion dated on June 21, 2018 was put on file by my Office under number AJB-493-36/2018.
