&37*HQHUDO5HSRUW 52. The vast majority of prisoners interviewed by the delegation in the prisons visited indicated that prison officers behaved correctly towards them. That said, several allegations were received in Konya E-type Prison of physical ill-treatment and verbal abuse, in particular from persons detained under anti-terrorism legislation and juveniles. The information gathered by the delegation also indicated that interprisoner violence occurred rather frequently in that establishment. Many of the prisons visited were overcrowded, and the possibilities for organised activities (such as work, education, vocational training or sports) were limited for almost all prisoners, including juveniles. In its report, the CPT also expresses concern about the inadequate provision of health care to prisoners and the serious shortage of doctors. Following the visit, action was taken to remind staff at Konya E-type Prison that all forms of ill-treatment of inmates is unacceptable and will be subject to severe sanctions. In their response, the Turkish authorities also describe measures taken to address other issues raised in the visit report; in particular, information is provided on a series of measures to combat prison overcrowding, develop purposeful activities for prisoners and improve health-care provision.
