53 The Juvenile Correctional Facility in Valjevo shall renovate the sanitation facilities used by persons placed at the inpatient clinic without delay to make them fully compliant with the applicable hygienic and sanitary conditions. The Juvenile Correctional Facility in Valjevo shall prepare a plan and conduct regular (periodic) examinations of persons deprived of liberty at intervals not longer than three months. Such examinations must, as a minimum, cover all aspects included in the initial medical examination, with any additional measures undertaken as appropriate taking into account the health status of individual inmates. The findings of such regular (periodic) examinations shall be notified in writing to the Facility’s warden minimum once a year, or more frequently if necessary due to improved or deteriorated health of an inmate, and in any case whenever any change in an inmate’s health status is found. Furthermore, the Facility shall prepare a plan for regular physical examination of juveniles by an appropriate health care institution at least once a year. At the Juvenile Correctional Facility in Valjevo, the physician shall state the following in written reports of examinations conducted after the use of force: 1) allegations made by the person against whom force was used about the way in which force was used and 2) an opinion whether there is a link between the force used and the injuries sustained. The Juvenile Correctional Facility in Valjevo shall keep proper records in its book “Visits of the Increased Surveillance Unit” by filling out all fields on the form and by ensuring that each row (each number) contains information on one visited person only. The Facility shall ensure without delay that inmate with the initials C.U. is referred to a hospital properly equipped and staffed with personnel duly qualified for the treatment of persons with mental disorders, namely the Special Prison Hospital. Retaining persons with undeniably diagnosed mental disorders of a primarily psychotic nature at the Facility, even if they receive therapy prescribed by a specialist, when the Facility lacks suitable equipment and properly trained staff to treat such persons, can be seen as inhuman treatment, especially if it occurs over extended periods of time. Should any similar cases occur in the future, the Facility will ask the attending psychiatrist to give an opinion after every examination (including initial examination and check-ups) if proper treatment can be provided at the Facility or the patient should be referred to a relevant specialised institution. Furthermore, the Facility shall observe without exceptions any recommendations made by a psychiatrist with regard to the intervals at which check-up examinations have to be performed. The physician will maintain the Record of Injuries and enter relevant information in the appropriate fields for each patient, ensuring in particular that the following details are provided: 1) allegations of the injured person about the way in which the injuries were sustained and 2) the physician’s opinion whether there is a link between the event described by the injured person and the injuries sustained. The physician shall present the warden with written findings and recommendations on ways to improve hygiene at the Facility and among the inmates and shall describe the current state of sanitation conditions and facilities, heating, lighting and ventilation in the rooms used by inmates.
