When visiting prisons, we noted that several recommendations made during previous visits were realised. In Ig Open Unit of Ljubljana Prison, it was determined that the recommendation repeated during past visits about the replacement of windows in living quarters had been realised as we observed that all windows had been replaced (with the exception of three smaller windows in room no. 1 and two windows in room no. 5). The recommendation that radiators for heating the hallway that leads to the sanitary section (toilets, washrooms, showers and laundry rooms) next to the living quarters be installed (it was established during the previous visit that the temperature in the hallway was only 10.1 °C) had been realised as we saw four new radiators in the hallway. Furthermore, certain other recommendations aimed at improving the conditions for prisoners were also realised in the prison. Ig Prison realised the NPM recommendation from previous visits to physically separate individual regimes of incarceration. Renovation works took place in the closed regime in rooms between 42/1 and 42/5; the NPM recommendation that the issue of mould be addressed in these quarters will thus be realised. The recommendation to equip a room with a more suitable hospital bed, fix the problem with the toilet cistern and paint the walls was also implemented as we noted that a hospital bed (enabling several adjustments) and a classic wooden bed were in the room, which was also painted and the problems with the toilet cistern were fixed. Ig Prison also realised some other NPM recommendations from previous visits. When visiting Slovenska vas Semi-Open Unit of Dob Prison, it was established that the recommendation to build overhanging roofs for the needs of prisoner socialising in the event of bad weather and also for the needs of smokers was partly realised, i.e. overhanging roofs in front of facilities 2 and 3 were constructed. The recommendation to paint walls in sanitary facilities (bathrooms and washrooms) on the ground floor and install more powerful fans for ventilation was also realised as the walls in bathrooms and washrooms were repainted and more high-powered fans for steam extraction were installed. 2.7 VISITS TO PRISONS Novo mesto Unit of Ljubljana Prison realised the NPM recommendation stating that the floor under the window where damp was discovered in the large bedroom of living quarters no. 3 be examined and repaired if necessary. During this visit, we noted that the problem was eliminated and the floor in the large bedroom replaced. The recommendation referring to the replacement of a worn-out floor lining in the hallway of the convict unit was realised since the floor lining was replaced by new flooring made of vinyl. The recommendation regarding the renovation of the solitary confinement cell was also realised and the cell was renovated in 2018. When examining the detention unit, it was observed that ventilation was repaired in all living quarters. The NPM recommendation that the planned conversion of the former kitchen into a classroom be implemented as soon as possible was also realised as the conversion had been completed. 66 THE REPORT OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS OMBUDSMAN OF THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA ON IMPLEMENTING THE TASKS OF THE NPM
