The NPM also receives information regarding corruption in prisons and boarding houses. The observations of the inspection teams show that in most cases this refers to allegations and conclusions related to the resolution of individual problems. As a result of the inspections carried out, as well as based on the publicly discussed cases, justified conclusions can be made that there are conditions for corruption. These conditions are related to: poor regulation of the order and lack of public transparency of the decisions of the administration; lack of sufficient modern equipment to prevent bringing in of forbidden items; the manner in which risk assessments are drawn up by the social workers, which are related to the subsequent changes in the regime, transfer to boarding houses, conditional early release (CER) (parole) and access to work. The prevention of the conditions for corruption requires actions that are needed throughout the CF system, which are largely related to amendments in the regulations. The conclusion of the NPM that the lack of justification of the protocols of the committees under art. 73 of the LESDA based on the risk assessments is linked to the lack of trust by the members of these committees to the existing assessments is alarming. There are no subsequent inspections regarding the additional risk assessment in the cases of nonacceptance and / or obvious disregard thereto. There are attempts at ministerial level and at the level of prison wardens to draw up objective criteria or limitations as to the access of work that go beyond those set by the law and the rules, which are clearly inefficient and unclear. No incentives system or disciplinary restrictions system has been introduced, which would result in adequate change in the risk assessment, including objective investigation of cases of use of force, thus guaranteeing the prisoner's right to protection. Living conditions During two consecutive inspections in 2012 and 2013 the NPM found that the conditions in Bourgas prison are completely unacceptable and are deemed to be inhuman and degrading. This is the prison with the gravest conditions and overpopulation in Bulgaria. An average of 2 sq. m. per prisoner, and in certain places less than 1 sq. m. per prisoner is the available space. The buildings are very old and depreciated. The prison is not included in the programmes of the government. The problem with the congestion should be resolved with the construction of a new prisoner boarding house in Debelt. According to the programme of the government for 2008 the boarding house should have been completed in 2009. Approximately BGN 300 000 have been used and due to the lack of additional funds (amounting to approximately BGN 800 000) the work has been suspended. The 2011 programme envisaged its completion in 2012 with funds needed amounting to approximately BGN 1 000 000 from the state budget. The funds for the construction of this boarding house were provided through financing under the Norwegian Financing Mechanism, but the construction was postponed in 2013 as well despite of this fact. The capacity envisaged for it is 450 prisoners. 883 prisoners on an average living space of approximately 1.5 sq. m. and with a total living space of 1 483 sq. m. were accommodated in the prison in Bourgas during the inspection of the NPM. The maximum allowed capacity of the corps is 370 prisoners. The fact that the boarding house will be of closed 48
