56 7. Follow-up visit The first and the third locations, the Juvenile Penitentiary Institution107 and the Central Holding Facility of the MPHB108 were selected because, during the first visit, the visiting delegation had found signs of serious ill-treatment or the threat thereof affecting a large group of detainees. Follow-up visits were paid also to an institution that had been operating on temporary premises at the time of the first inspection, due to refurbishment works. In the latter case, the objective of the follow-up visit was to inspect to what extent my recommendations made as regards the temporary premises and the treatment of detainees had been implemented after moving back109 to the permanent premises.110 In 2018, while performing the tasks of the NPM, I made a follow-up visit to the Central Prison Hospital of Tököl.111 7.2. Planning and preparing a follow-up visit The follow-up visits are preceded by a written consultation with the detention authority, in the course of which I analyse and evaluate the responses received from the addressees of the recommendations made in my report. If necessary, I also involve in this consultation civil organizations or authorities that I think should be informed of the fundamental-rights-related improprieties uncovered in order to facilitate their activities aimed at improving detention conditions and the detainees’ treatment. The visiting plan is based on the recommendations made in the report on the previous visit and is aimed at re-examining circumstances causing or potentially leading to fundamental-rights-related improprieties. The primary objective of the new visit is to check the implementation of the recommendations made in the report on the previous visit. 7.3.
