Protection of Healthcare in Penitentiary System and Torture Prevention Mechanisms Despite the fact that, the Tuberculosis program is carried out by the Tuberculosis disease Control Centre and progress was noted regarding timely disclosure. Both DOTS and DOTS+programs function, the said pathology remains a leading problem in the penitentiary system from the view of spread. Herewith we should recall, that inhuman treatment and relevant conditions in Georgia’s penitentiary system benefited to spread of especially dangerous infectious disease, and this has been done through artificially made overcrowding in so-called “quarantine” of N8 establishment and N1 establishment. According to narrative of inmates of this prison, disobedient inmates were intentionally introduced into sells with those suffering from infectious diseases or vice versa, an infected individual was introduced into a cell while the latter was warned not to speak about his disease. Inmates were threatened that they would be infected with/ untreatable disease. One of the former prisoners is undergoing rehabilitation in centre Emathy. Then, at last I was transferred to Matrosov prison. Before there was a problem, Matrosov prison did not want to accept me. During my stay there I was once beaten, a prison guard repeatedly kicked me in the legs. Until released on 28.02.2013 I was in Matrosov prison. During my stay in prison, I became contracted Tuberculoses, my sight worsened, have got pain in my knees. I also have psychological problems. I served a sentence for a crime that I did not commit. In Krit inmates with Tuberculosis were warned by the prison administration when they entered a cell not to say that they had Tuberculosis otherwise they would pay for this. A guy was brought in our cell who said that he had Tuberculosis, and though he was warned he could not not say this to us”. It should be noted that taking into consideration damage statistics and data for assistance rendered, that was also provided by the penitentiary healthcare unit, it is hard to imagine how epidemiological control on spreading contagious diseases in the system could have been exercised when no relevant interventions were carried out in such a large number of cases of self-inflicted wounds, wounds or other types of open lesions; According to inmates, they often treated each other in the cell. NPM Report 2012 Case: Z.F. , 38 year-old, “I was arrested n August 12th, 2009 in front of the house. At the time of the arrest I was beaten up with a hand, there were many of them and I was taken to temporary detention isolator cell where I was held for 48 hours. Afterwards I was kept in the quarantine of N8 establishment. After ‘breaking the quarantine’ I was severely beaten up, there were many prison personnel, and I passed out during the beating. I do not remember for how long. Afterwards a corridor of about 40 people is erected and one has to pass through these corridors while being subjected to beatings. First 10 days I was in Gldani in a cell designed for 6 persons. In 2009, I clearly remember the day, at night I was taken away from the cell, prison personnel were about 20 people. I was severely beaten up with hands and using full water bottles. I do not remember how long I was out. A doctor was called for and this revived me. After this I was taken back to the cell. First 10 months that I was in Gldani 4 months I spent in so-called Kartzer and quarantine. I was kept in a Kartzer for 45 days, after that in quarantine and quarantine –breaking was always followed by beating. I do not exactly remember how many times I was beaten up. I used to hear voices of other beatings, inmates were beaten up in front of each other, and there was such stench from the Gldani dump and such smoke that it burnt our eyes. 10 months later I was transferred to Ortachala, to so-called Krit where a cell designed for 22 persons housed 32 persons and some had to sleep in turns. There were no basic sanitary conditions. In January 2011 I was beaten up and kicked in a director’s office by the director himself. When I was taken back to the cell I suffered a “blood fountain”, inmates started to shout. I was transferred to the hospital where I spent one month. While in hospital, I was taken to a morgue, where I was beaten up using bludgeon by numerous, I don’t remember exactly how many, people. I have lost my conscience. Then I was left tied to a corpse for 2 hours. After that I was taken back to Krit hospital. For a fortnight I had a high temperature. I was transferred back to the hospital with the high temperature. For 5 months I was alone in a cell. I was treated of Tuberculosis. I was not allowed even a radio, as they said it broke too quickly. I was telling them that it was not their money to worry about. I paid for it. Then I was transferred to Ksani where three persons were in a cell. Two days after the transfer, prison personnel carrying long sticks and their mouths covered entered the cell and beat me up, they also poured 3 buckets of water at me. I lost 9 kilos in 9 days, started having high temperatures. I was taken to so-called rezbalnitsa. For a day I was taken to Khudadov where all tests were done. I was transferred back another day.
