A/69/44 Inter-prisoner violence (20) The Committee is concerned at the persistence of inter-prisoner violence and the lack of investigation of such violence, especially in view of the high number of cases. It is further concerned at reports relating to instances of deaths in custody as a result of violence (arts. 2, 11, 12, 13 and 16). The State party should: (a) Enhance steps to reduce inter-prisoner violence, including by strengthening the monitoring and management of vulnerable prisoners and other prisoners at risk; (b) Continue and enhance the training of prison staff and medical personnel regarding communication with and managing of inmates and on detecting signs of vulnerability; (c) Strengthen the effectiveness of complaints mechanisms for reporting cases of violence or other abuses and enhance the financial and staffing capacity of the Ombudsman and other independent mechanisms to visit regularly all places of detention; (d) Promptly, thoroughly and impartially investigate all cases of interprisoner violence and deaths in custody, prosecute and punish those found guilty with appropriate penalties and provide redress to victims or their relatives. Use of restraints in prisons (21) The Committee is concerned by reports of unjustified use of restraints in prisons, such as the routine handcuffing of prisoners serving life sentences when outside their cells (arts. 2, 11 and 16). The State party should: (a) Abolish the routine handcuffing of prisoners serving life sentences; (b) Ensure that all complaints of violations with regard to handcuffing are promptly, effectively and independently investigated and the persons responsible are held to account. Redress, including compensation and rehabilitation (22) The Committee is concerned that there is no explicit provision in domestic legislation that provides for the right of victims of torture and ill-treatment to fair and adequate compensation, including the means for as full rehabilitation as possible, as required by article 14 of the Convention. It is also concerned that specific rehabilitation services have not been established and regrets the lack of data regarding the amount of any compensation awards made by the courts to victims of violations of the Convention and on any treatment and social rehabilitation services provided to victims, including medical and psychosocial rehabilitation (art. 14). The State party should amend its legislation to include explicit provisions on the right of victims of torture and ill-treatment to redress, including fair and adequate compensation and rehabilitation, in accordance with article 14 of the Convention. It should, in practice, provide all victims of torture or ill-treatment with redress, including fair and adequate compensation, and as full rehabilitation as possible, regardless of whether perpetrators of such acts have been brought to justice. It should allocate the necessary resources for the effective implementation of rehabilitation programmes. 52 GE.14-12596
