rights and handling of pre-detainees/detainees at the institution, and the verification on the extent of implementation of the recommendations made by the Ombudsman through letter No. K4/I3-2 Prot., dated 14.05.2014, with topic: “It is hereby recommended the improvement of conditions and handling of minors at the Juveniles’ Institution in Kavaja”. The Institution of Juveniles has been operating since 2009 as rehabilitation, consultation and school center for the minors aged 14-18 years old. The capacity of the institution is 40 persons, 20 pre-detainees and 20 detainees, divided in four sectors. On the monitoring date at the institution, there were found 66 minors, of whom 52 pre-detainees and 14 prisoners. Another convicted minor was on rewarding leave. In the conditions of overcrowding, as a consequence of transfers of a contingency of minors from IECD Jordan Misja, Tirana and IECD Shën Koll, Lezhë, the institution had taken measures that the convicted minors relocate to a single sector, while the pre-detained minors adjust in three sectors. Even though the institution functioned in the conditions of overcrowding, the minors were provided with an appropriate accommodation place and were involved in the daily activities of the institution. The minors involved in professional courses along with their trainers of the Vocational Formation Center Durrës had made possible the cutting and welding of beds, which were shifted into bunk beds, but also of wardrobe drawers for all the rooms. From the information collected in place through performing private interviews, without witnesses with minors deprived of freedom and with the staff of the institution, and through the verification of documents, objects, equipment and premises, it resulted that a part of recommendations made in the letter mentioned above had not been implemented. Taking measures for coverage with monitoring system through security cameras in the premises of corridors where classrooms are found and isolation/observation rooms aiming at the avoidance of the possibility to exercise psychological or physical violence against minors or claims for violence. As per above, in the end of the monitoring report, the following was recommended: 1. Taking measures in successful cross-institutional cooperation with the General Prosecution Office in order to resolve delays in communication among districts; prosecution offices and IECDs related to the revocation, cessation or substitution of the security measure. The administrative-legal cramp caused by either objective reasons, or from the lack of coordination between the parties should be adjusted so as to address the problem of minors staying for a long time at arrest measure with imprisonment having no contact with prosecutors. 2. Taking measures in order to change/adjust the instruction of the GDP for planning rewarding leaves for minors by reducing the required time of stay at the institution before the planning of the reward leave starts and by making more frequent anticipations than the annual ones so that all the minors deprived of freedom are assisted so as to be integrated in the community. 22
