Correctional institutions intrusion should be (better) trained and not merely demonstrated once during the training programme. Therefore, the NPM attempted to accommodate this suggestion, particularly since a session in the training course (for colleagues) increases the confidence of the intervening bodies and thus contributes to gentle actions that conform to human rights. Practical training sessions before deployment Regarding this matter, the general directorate stated that in the modules “Deployment training” and “Executive powers and safety” the theoretical basics of searching persons and their belongings are taught and then exercised in practice. The correct way of dealing with detainees is also learnt in “Prison actions training”. Searching cells is explained in the “Penal system law” and “Executive powers and safety” modules and practised in the second practical phase of basic training in the correctional institutions. The general directorate claimed that it is not the case that measures involving intrusion are not sufficiently covered in basic training. Expanding the training in this area is thus not planned.

It is all the more important to not only train new hires in theory on how these searches shall be conducted. 2.5.4 Body searches with disrobement Although this has been repeatedly objected to (see NPM Report 2017, pp. 128 et seq., NPM Report 2018, pp. 134 et seq., most recently in detail in NPM Report 2019, pp. 107 et seq.), inmates still have to remove all of their clothes during body searches in Vienna-Josefstadt correctional institution. Vienna-Josefstadt correctional institution Several inmates in Vienna-Simmering correctional institution told the delegation that body searches with full disrobement are conducted on arrival in the admission department and during the cell inspections, and not in two steps. Vienna-Simmering correctional institution In its statement of opinion, the Federal Ministry of Justice explains that with reference to the teaching aid on body searches, “Durchsuchung von Personen”, a two-phase search is conducted if there are no specific safety-relevant concerns. The search is not conducted immediately with full disrobement but is limited to the clothed body at the beginning. Disrobement and inspection of the genitals come only in a second step. The necessary full disrobement is Ministry does not deviate from this practice 112
