toilet area is not pixelated on the surveillance monitor. The Commission suggests examining whether a certain pixelisation of the sanitary area can be carried out and the clothing of the inmates in the speciallysecured cell can be supplemented by a shirt in addition to the paper underwear. secured cell without exception, since in its view the physical integrity and the life of the inmates can only be ensured by complete, comprehensive observation. The number of psychologists is inadequate in view of the size of the prison. For instance, only two-and-a-half established posts were available for 859 inmates. The Commission urgently recommends to expand the psychological service. There were plans to establish a social therapeutic department at Bernau Prison. This would significantly improve the therapy offered and the staffing schedule in the specialist services. Because of the tense budget situation, the necessary funds and additional established posts could not, however, yet be accommodated in the 2011/2012 budget. Corresponding applications are said however to have already been provided for the negotiations on the supplementary budget for 2012. The Commission also met an inmate in the disciplinary detention area who had already demonstrated self-injuring conduct several times and was obviously in a deplorable mental state. The Commission urgently advises to subject the inmate to a psychological and/or psychiatric examination, and where appropriate to institutionalise him in a psychiatric unit. It requests to be advised of further developments. The Ministry states in this regard that the man had already been placed in the specially-secured cell several times for short periods. His conduct was however said to be caused not by a psychotic incident, but by an inclination towards disrupting prison routing, since the incidents were connected with the inmate’s demands not having been met. He had been in regular contact with the medical and psychological service during the time of the special security measures. The Ministry stated that the inmates in the secured cell were provided with underwear and a blanket. The suggestion of the Commission of the Länder had been taken on board, and a shirt would also be handed out in future. With regard to his further development: The inmate showed self-injuring conduct on several occasions over the next few weeks, massive in some cases, so that first of all he once more had to be placed in a disciplinary detention cell and later fixated in the specially-secured cell. His conduct then gradually normalised, and the inmate was finally placed in a shared cell. Building 9 only has 12 common showers for roughly 200 inmates. The common shower rooms are not equipped with partitions or any other precautions maintaining privacy. Partitions between the showers were deliberately omitted, since this is the only way to offer optimum protection for the inmates against attacks on one another. At least ran- 45
