49 Results in 2015 In 2015 the NPM has placed great emphasis on continuing the dialogue with the places visited about their measures to prevent the risk for violations and to follow up the Parliamentary Ombudsman's recommendations. Based on feedback from the places that have reported to the Parliamentary Ombudsman so far, their follow-up appears to be thorough. After each visit, the Parliamentary Ombudsman publishes a report describing findings and making recommendations for measures to reduce the risk of torture and ill-treatment. Feedback is always requested from each place of detention on how the recommendations are followed up.1 During the year, the NPM has noticed that the places it visits have studied previous visit reports. Some have already reviewed their own procedures and implemented recommendations made following visits to other places. It is very positive that places of detention learn from each other and exchange experience, also across sectors. The NPM finds that places of detention in different sectors face many of the same challenges. Findings by the NPM in prisons and police custody facilities as well as mental health care institutions include a lack of administrative decisions, poor-quality supervision logs, a lack of activities offered and different body search practices. Some important measures that have been reported to the Parliamentary Ombudsman in 2015: Clothing in security cells Tromsø Prison During a visit in September 2014, the NPM found that inmates were always stripped naked and had their clothes removed before being confined in a security cell. After the visit, the Ombudsman recommended that inmates should not be ’stripped’ as a matter of routine and never be confined naked in a security cell without an individual security assessment. Inmates should be given their own clothes back after a body search, or given suitable alternative clothes, so that they do not have to be naked in the security cell. ›› ››Tromsø Prison has informed the Ombudsman that inmates are no longer confined naked in the security cell. The prison has devised new procedures for the use of security cells and the staff make an individual assessment of each inmate. The prison also has plans to purchase rip-resistant/suicide prevention clothing. Following this visit, the Directorate of the Norwegian Correctional Service also sent letters to its regional offices clarifying the practice for clothing in security cells.2 1 Follow-up letters and correspondence with the NPM are published on the Parliamentary Ombudsman’s website. 2 Letter from the Directorate of the Norwegian Correctional Service to the Correctional Services’ regional offices, 6 November 2014, Case processing in cases concerning exclusion from company, use of security cells and restraint beds.
