internal acts with such rules (e.g. compensation of a threefold amount of the damage incurred). We believe that when drafting a new act that will govern residential treatment institutions and discuss children and adolescents with emotional and behavioural problems and disorders, it would be reasonable to provide a legal basis and determine the rules of conduct in institutions (in educational and residential groups), correctional measures for individual violations of rules and the procedure for corrective action on the regulatory or executive level. During visits to police stations, we ascertained that many NPM recommendations were accepted and also determined that only recommendations that take more time for the realisation or elimination of determined deficiencies remained unrealised (e.g. access to running water in rooms for shorter detention, filling of vacancies for duty officers at police stations, installation of video surveillance in rooms for receiving persons deprived of their liberty). The cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior or the Police remains exemplary when discussing findings at police stations. In particular, we highlight the recommendations for improving work in dealing with migrants or refugees, especially unaccompanied minors. During the visit to the Aliens Centre, it was obvious that the Centre has realised several NPM recommendations since our last visit (e.g. renovation of the rooms in the men’s unit, which significantly improved the living conditions). We proposed again that a systemic solution be found as soon as possible so that children/minors would no longer be accommodated in a closed institution such as the Aliens Centre (not even for a shorter time). We recommended that the MNZ examine the possibility of further enhancing the professional qualifications and knowledge of the staff in the Aliens Centre or the Police with content such as the observance of the principle of the best interest of the child/minor and child/ minor-friendly communication with an emphasis on the specific nature of children/minors migrants, improving professional qualifications regarding detection and response to vulnerability such as risk of human trafficking, sexual violence, situation of LGBT+ persons, working with children/minors who have undergone a traumatic experience and providing assistance and support to people with mental health problems. Based on the findings determined when visiting prisons, the NPM established that the main problem in Slovenian prisons and their units remains overcrowding (with the exception of Ig Prison), also in part due to a substantial inflow of foreigners (whose treatment results in additional problems) and the shortage of staff in all fields of work, especially relating to expert work with prisoners and security issues (prison officers). Overcrowding has an adverse effect on ensur- 25 1.7 CONCLUSION A visit to Radeče Juvenile Correctional Facility revealed that persons subject to correctional 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 as 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.
