additional documents shall be submitted to the NPM by the staff members of the given place of
detention.
They also share their positive and/or negative impressions in connection with the detainees’ treatment
and the conditions of detention with the head of the given place of detention, which promotes best
practices and facilitates the earliest possible solution of problems.
The head of the visiting delegation draws the attention of the head and the personnel of the given place
of detention to the prohibition of sanctions stipulated in Article 21.1 of the OPCAT.
5.2.6. Processing and evaluating experiences gained and information obtained in the course of
the visits
The members of the visiting delegation process the experiences gained and information obtained at the
given place of detention. During the discussion, they may identify situations causing trouble and the
responses given thereto. Visiting various types of places of detention, meeting children and adults
deprived–to various extents–of their personal liberty may be overwhelming even in the absence of
circumstances indicative of ill-treatment. In addition to helping the members of the visiting delegation
to keep their sanity, joint analyses increase the efficiency of future visits by pointing out the reasons and
effects of their decisions made on the spot.
The head of the visiting delegation prepares a short preliminary report for me on the most important
lessons of the visit. Following this preliminary report summarizing the visit’s most important lessons,
the head of the visiting delegation prepares a short summary of the on-site inspection which, upon my
approval, is published, both in the Hungarian and English languages, on the NPM’s homepage.
