plex issues are accommodated in such institutions. A visit to Radeče Juvenile Correctional Facility revealed that persons subject to educational measures are living in unsuitable conditions (at least in some sections of the facility). Large renovation works would be required to ensure suitable minimum living conditions, which are not possible since the building is subject to monument protection and major interventions are not permitted. Rooms are not child-friendly and do not contribute to their successful rehabilitation. The NPM thus recommended that the management of Radeče Juvenile Correctional Facility together with the Head Office of the Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia address the spatial inadequacy by observing the principles of normative architectural design and the design of a humane environment, which will contribute to the minors’ social rehabilitation and enable their prompt integration into the community and regular life. It is of the utmost importance that rooms do not cause additional stress and trauma, but provide an appropriate support environment. The Head Office of the Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia replied that Radeče Juvenile Correctional Facility and the Head Office were aware that the castle in which living premises for minors undergoing the measure of referral to the juvenile correctional facility were arranged was not optimal as the building was not initially intended for such activities. The Head Office knows that the best solution would be a building constructed with the purpose of implementing the relevant measure, including all appertaining facilities and spaces. In this regard, it proposed to the Ministry of Justice to also include a new construction of the correctional facility into its procedures for implementing penal sanctions. As Radeče Juvenile Correctional Facility is well received in the local environment, it would be sensible that it remains in the town of Radeče. Building plots (owned by the Company of the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul, which is the lessor of the living quarters) are available in the vicinity, the purchase of which would be possible for the construction of the new building with all the appertaining facilities and spaces that would provide a suitable spatial and architectural environment for the most favourable social rehabilitation of minors. 2.6 VISIT TO JUVENILE CORRECTIONAL FACILITY Regarding the work of a specialist psychiatric outpatient clinic, the director explained that they are experiencing certain problems because their health-care provider, Radeče Community Health Centre, has difficulties with employing a psychiatrist, but they are in discussions with one. When there was a need for psychiatric care of a minor, a general physician would issue a referral and the minor would be taken to the Unit for Forensic Psychiatry in Maribor. The message of the URSIKS that a psychiatrist would begin having sessions with minors as of 31 July 2019 in accordance with the contract with Radeče Community Health Centre is thus very encouraging, and the psychiatric care would be carried out twice a month on the basis of appointments agreed in advance. The NPM also recommended that a special programme for discussing the harmful effects of drugs and/or alcohol be established, as would a programme for enhancing minors’ mental health. In connection with this recommendation, the management explained that the programme for discussing minors who have problems with illicit drugs and alcohol was fully integrated in the educational programme. All minors are individually and within a group discussed within 60 THE REPORT OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS OMBUDSMAN OF THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA ON IMPLEMENTING THE TASKS OF THE NPM
