Coercive measures The procedures of using coercive measures in force in three establishments115 and the rules of an isolation room in force in one establishment116 were based on provisions which had been revoked 117or amended.118 In the light of the above, NPM representatives recommended their redrafting on the basis of current regulations in this regard, i.e. the Act of 24 may 2013 on coercive measures and firearms119 and amendments to the Act on juvenile delinquency proceedings introduced by the said Act. NPM representatives also pointed to the need to supplement, inter alia, the rules of use of coercive measures towards the charges and the rules of the isolation room to include grounds for placing juveniles in the room,120 and to supplement the instructions on the use of coercive measures to include restrictions on the duration of stay in an isolation room.121 3B.3.3. Disciplining The visitors had the most serious reservation about the conditional stay group in one of the visited establishments.122 According to the rules for charges of the conditional stay group, it is intended for charges who have demonstrated particularly bad behaviour, which makes it a disciplinary measure. Staying in this group has many troublesome aspects, such as no walks or sensory deprivation due to staying in low standard rooms. NPM representatives recommended liquidating the conditional stay group. Juvenile Detention Centre in Trzemeszno.
