80 Reports were prepared on every visit containing the visiting delegations’ “findings and the conclusions based thereon.”230 In 2017, I prepared altogether 8 reports within the frameworks of performing the tasks of the National Preventive Mechanism. The visiting delegations did not detect any circumstances indicative of intentional abuse by the staff of the places of detention potentially resulting in severe physical or psychological trauma. With a view to the tasks of the NPM, in my reports on the inspections, I recommended taking measures aimed at terminating and preventing the recurrence of the ill-treatment of persons deprived of their liberty. In 2017, I took measures altogether on 224 occasions. Most frequently, in 130 cases, I made recommendations to the heads of the places of detention231, in another 73 cases to the heads of the supervisory organ of the institution subject to inquiry 232 , and on four occasions, I initiated proceedings for the supervision of legality by the competent prosecutor through the Prosecutor General.233 I, 2017, I made 17 legislative proposals.234 Recommendations made in 2017 in the NPM's reports, by addressee requests to the prosecution: 4 (2%) to the supervisory authority: 73 (33%) legislative proposals: 17 (7%) to the place of detention: 130 (58%) In the third year of the NPM’s operation, the addressees of these measures studied my recommendations and responded on their merits within the statutory deadline. If formulating their position or implementing my recommendation seemed not possible within the deadline stipulated in the relevant provision of the Ombudsman Act, the addressees notified me thereof before the deadline and requested its extension. Maintaining continuing and constructive dialog serving the monitoring of the implementation of these measures is a statutory obligation of not only the NPM but also the management of the places of detention, authorities, and other organs concerned. The dialog between the NPM and the addressees of the recommendations is conducted on the basis of the reports. The Ombudsman Act regulates in detail the method of monitoring, including the deadlines for responding.235 If the authority subject to inquiry or its supervisory organ fails to form a position on the merits and to take the appropriate measure, or I do not agree with the position or the measure taken, I may submit the case to Parliament within the framework of my annual report, and ask Parliament to inquire into the matter. If the impropriety is of flagrant gravity or affects a larger group of natural persons, I See Section 28(1) of the Ombudsman Act Section 32(1) of the Ombudsman Act 232 Section 31(1) of the Ombudsman Act 233 Section 33(1) of the Ombudsman Act 234 Section 37 of the Ombudsman Act 235 Sections 31 through 38 of the Ombudsman Act 230 231
