108 10. Dialogue on the measures taken by the NPM Institution’s warden that the partition between the shower and the toilet was being remodelled, and the headcount of the staff working at the dormitory and the medical-therapeutic unit was going to be increased, depending on the availability of human resources, with a view to ensuring more efficient suicide prevention. While, pursuant to Section 247(2) of Act CLIV of 1997 on Healthcare, the competent Minister should issue a decree “on the nutritional standards of foodstuff provided within the framework of organised catering of regular meals, the personal conditions of catering, and preparing dietetic meals, and the rules of official control”, the MoHC Decree on public catering does not cover 222 regular, organised catering for penitentiary institutions. To enforce the detainees’ right to health, I requested the Minister of Human Capacities to consider extending the effect of the Decree on mass catering onto penitentiary institutions. The Minister promised to convene a coordination meeting with the Ministry of Justice and the head of the National Prison Service for the elaboration of the requirements regarding the catering provided to the detainees on the level of a decree. I have reiterated my recommendation for the transformation of the regulations in my reports on my visits to the Márianosztra Strict and Medium Regime Prison,223 as well as to Unit I of the Budapest Remand Prison,224 with regard to the fact that at the time of the publication of these reports, the amendment of the law that I had initiated was not yet made. Reintegration activities provided by the Institution (work, education, organised free time activities) did not meet the detainees’ requirements. The increased difficulty of access to these activities by inmates belonging to special detainee groups (juveniles, women, foreigners) resulted in discrimination. As a response to my recommendation, the Director General of the Hungarian Prison Service informed me that, with a view to increasing the detainees’ opportunities to take part in reintegration activities, he was planning to increase work opportunities provided by external companies, as well as those offered in the framework of inmate labour programmes, and he was also ready to organise some further vocational training programmes for the detainees. The warden of the Institution promised to increase the 222 223 224 Minister of Human Capacities Decree 37/2014 (IV. 30.) EMMI on the nutritional standards of public catering: “1.(1) – The scope of this Decree shall cover: a) service providers, as well as educational institutions under the Act on National Public Education and inpatient care institutions (hereinafter together the “institutions”) providing basic social services and special care, as well as child protection services, b) all institutions, organs, organisations, economic associations, and natural persons providing public catering service through their own, operating service kitchen.” Report No. AJB-474/2018, see also Section 9.2.1.
