the identification of the level of implementation of recommendations made by the People’s Advocate by letter no. 201402313 Prot. K1/I82-2, dated 19.01.2015, with topic: “Recommendation for the improvement of conditions and treatment of pre-trial detainees at the IECD of Sarandë”. Based on the on-site collected information, when conducting confidential interviews with the persons treated at that center and with the institution personnel, and through the identification of documents, facilities, equipment and premises, it resulted that only two recommendations were implemented : the one related to the administration and management of registers of disciplinary measures and personal files of the pre-trial detainees from the legal sector and the one regarding the kitchen supply with refrigerators and heaters, although the aspirator was still missing. Meanwhile, all other recommendations were still not implemented. The IECD of Sarandë, with an official capacity of 31 persons, at the moment of inspection visit had 51 persons, a concern also present in the inspection of previous year with overcrowding of 20 pre-trial detainees above the required capacity. As above, in the end of the monitoring report, the following was recommended:  Immediate closure of this IECD as despite all recommendations made over years by the People’s Advocate for the full reconstruction of this institution for improving conditions and providing services in accordance with the international standards and Law no. 8328 dated 16.04.1998 “On rights and treatment of imprisoned persons”, as amended, it remains an institution housing persons under inhuman and degrading conditions. The following recommendations were made until a solution for implementing this recommendation: 1. Adoption of related measures to address the issue of the premises of this Institution made available to the Police Station of District of Saranda, in fulfillment of the Agreement between the Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Interior. Under the overcrowding conditions and lack of premises in this institution, it cannot offer necessary services to the pre-trial detainees of this IECD, and the exclusion of the Institution from the above agreement is the right solution to make possible a complete reconstruction of Saranda IECD, in order to meet the requirements and standards provided by legislation and the European Convention on Human Rights. 2. Taking immediate measures to address the overcrowding situation in respect of Article 24 of Law nr. 8328 dated 16.04.1998 "On the rights and treatment of prisoners and pre-trial detainees", as amended, where every prisoner shall be provided with a separate bed and a set of suitable bedclothes. 3. Taking measures for adequate supplying, adapting and creating living conditions in the observation/ separation room, according to standards established by the applicable laws and the General Regulation of Prisons. 4. Taking measures for division by categories, people of 18-21 years old, mentally ill, narcotic substance abusers, as provided for in Article 29, paragraph 1 and 2 of the General Regulation of Prisons. 42
