38 medical check-ups even when not requested by a medical worker, which only violates the privacy of convicts and the right to secrecy of data on their health condition. Persons with mental impairment serving their prison sentence are still placed within the regular prison regime which is inadequate for their treatment and their psycho-social treatment. The NPM standpoint is that persons with severe mental disabilities should be displaced in adequate health-care institution, or placed in the Special Prison Hospital, i.e. the stationed health-care unit within the institution whit adequate conditions for their treatment. Measures of compulsory psychiatric treatment and care are rarely converted in the extramural mandatory psychiatric treatment, primarily because of the fact that family is not in a position to care about the patient. Around 25% of patients who were imposed compulsory psychiatric treatment and confinement in the Specialized Prison Hospital may be discharged, but they don’t have where to go, for they do not enjoy the support of the community. The worrisome fact is that the number of psychiatric patients is solely reduced by their death. Despite the adoption of the Law on the Protection of Persons with Mental Disabilities (“Official Gazette of the RS”, no. 45/13) and the Rulebook on Conditions for the Application of Physical Restraints and Isolations of Persons with Mental Disabilities Treated in Psychiatric Institutions (“Official Gazette of the RS”, no. 94/13) which provisions are bounding for the work of Hospital , in the course of the visit it was determined that the staff working in the Hospital did not act in compliance with the mentioned regulations. Namely, it happened that patients were continuously restrained for several days. Programs designed to provide social support and aid to the convicts after being released from prison, do not still have the adequate level of quality, and the efficient cooperation between correctional services of the institution and the offices for the enforcement of alternative sanctions has not yet been established, and therefore all convicts after being released from the prison are left to themselves. Alternative sanctions in the Republic of Serbia do not function in the planned capacity and scope and are totally dependent upon the prison system. This relates to both technical support, and to the support by staff. The offices for alternative sanctions are opened in every town, as a part of the Higher Courts, but so far only 24 commissioners were employed. However, five offices still do not have their commissioner (in Sombor, Zrenjanin, Šabac, Čačak and Vranje). Also, work of a commissioner is now solely reduced to the enforcement of alternative sanctions, i.e., commissioners are least engaged in treatment of convicted persons, their resocialization or post-penal reception. GENERAL RECOMMENDATION FOR REMEDYING THE IDENTIFIED SHORTCOMING The Administration for the Enforcement of Criminal Sanctions should continue with its activities related to the harmonization of accommodation conditions within institutions for the enforcement of criminal sanction with the applicable standards. Institution for the enforcement of criminal sanctions should enable to all persons serving their prison sentences to spend their available time outside the sleeping room during a day, in the common rooms with the other convicts. Institutions for the Enforcement of Criminal Sanctions should continue to improve conditions for engagement of persons serving their prison sentences in the working activities. Institutions for the Enforcement of Criminal Sanctions should ensure sufficient number of medical workers, particularly doctors, necessary quantity of drugs and therapies and to improve the health-care provision.
