Note Accurate and regular keeping of solitary confinement cell journals is of utmost importance for the purpose of monitoring the tendencies of disciplinary punishment, violations and existing practice. It is important that not only the duration of punishment, dates of placement and release of an inmate but type of a specific violation be indicated in the journal. The most common violation leading to disciplinary punishment of an inmate at penitentiary establishment are: noise, communication with inmates in other cells, fight, verbal abuse of a prison personnel or another inmate, disobedience against demand of prison personnel, being late for or non-attendance of list check-up, littering of the territory. It shall be noted that as a result of the monitoring carried out by the Preventive Group in summer 2012 and recommendations issued, in several establishments clear and concrete notes are made in registration journals of persons placed in solitary cells from which it is clear for which violation was a person punished. We shall give a positive assessment to practice established in Geguti N14 establishment, namely, notes made in the solitary cell journal make it clear that during 2012 out of 294 convicts placed in solitary cell 128 inmates were released from the solitary cell before the due time on the basis of a note from a doctor which constitutes 43.5 %. Penitentiary establishment No 1 As it was noted above, N1 establishment does not have solitary confinement cells and forms of punishment included giving “warning”, and restrictions of various rights. In 2012 warning was given to 130 convicts while 1 convict was restricted from the right to use telephone for a certain period of time. NPM Report 2012 As opposed to the aforementioned, notes made in N1 journal for “registration and keeping of placement in Karzer/ solitary cells” and N8 journal for “records of convicts placed in solitary cells” of N17 establishment it becomes clear that mostly feature “violation of regime requirements” and disobedience to personnel’s order”. These notes are very general and do not specify information on concrete violations. Also, several notes in the journal of N2 establishment are vague, such as: “violation of regime regulations” and “disobedience to regime requirements” where it is not specified which specific actions are considered violation though in N2 establishment such violations are rare.
