In two cases, the visitors raised reservations about lack of intimacy when taking a bath130. 5a. Adjustment to the needs of persons with disabilities BGDRs are not adjusted to the needs of persons with both disabilities and reduced physical capabilities (e.g. the elderly). Under the legislation in force, i.e. the Charter of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities or the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, persons with disabilities must be enabled to live their life independently and fully participate in all its spheres. Both of these documents also apply to persons deprived of their liberty and their detention environment. All state institutions should therefore take action aimed at giving real effect to the rights of persons with disabilities. 6. Detention Centres of Military Gendarmerie 6.1. Introduction In 2014, the representatives of the Mechanism performed visits to two detention centres131 (hereinafter referred to as the “DCMG”, the “centre”). Admission to any Detention Centre of Military Gendarmerie is only possible upon a personal search of an inmate. Nevertheless, principles of such a personal search should be precisely and completely regulated by statute. The legislator should define to what extent public authorities should interfere with human integrity. The legislator should also provide for adequate remedies in relation to actions taken by persons authorised to perform them, both as regards the way these actions are carried out as well as their legality and legitimacy. This provision is, however, included in the Ordinance of the Minister of National Defence. BGDRs in: Białystok, Gdańsk, Hrubieszów. BGDRs in: Białystok, Bobrowniki. 131 Detention Centre of the Military Gendarmerie Branch in Poznań, Detention Centre of the Masovian Military Gendarmerie Division in Warsaw. 129 130 45
