ANNUAL REPORT OF NPM 2019 _______________________________________________________________________________________ During the visit to CCD (from 28 until 30 October 2019), the NPM has noted that its recommendation to functionalize the sports hall, which was submitted to competent authorities through the report with recommendations of 28 June 2019, has been implemented. Further, during the visit, the NPM has noted that, upon the functionalization of the sports hall, numerous sports activities for prisoners are enabled. Prisoners can also develop sports activities in the sports areas within the CCD’s yard. During the last visit, the Directorate has informed the NPM that around 344 prisoners in CCD are engaged in paid work. The Director has started to engage the prisoners in work regarding the renovation of blocks and other works. Furthermore, there are three workshops functionalized within the CCD, which in fact are also vocational training centres, where training sessions on welding, construction, machinery, carpeting, technical maintenance, water and electricity installation are organised. Courses whose duration is three months are organised in these workshops. Based on the assistance provided by the NGO “HELP”, 10 prisoners were provided with vocational training sessions for welding, who were also certified. Within the CCD, there is a high school with 44 convicts attending classes. The NPM has noted that efforts have been made to operationalize the economic unit provided for by the LEPS, but an administrative instruction that would specify the work of this economic unit is expected to be approved. Whereas, at the half-opened block in CCD, all the convicts are engaged in agriculture and livestock. During the visit, the NPM has noted that in the yard of the concerned block there is a garden and greenhouse in which fruits and vegetables are cultivated and used for food in CCD. During the reporting period, the NPM, through the report with recommendation on the visit to ECCL, has recommended to the competent authorities to functionalize the cabinets that exist within the centre, but which are not being used due to the lack of professional trainers. On 19 September 2019, the Directorate of ECCL has informed NPM regarding the efforts it is making to train the adequate personnel to provide courses of vocational training sessions for juveniles by using these cabinets. On the other hand, through the visits carried out during this year, the NPM has noted that training sessions for water supply, electricity, masonry, haircut, English language courses, and other courses, were organized at the ECCL. From the documentation received from ECCL, it is seen that an NGO has organized 12 sessions with juveniles, where different topics from everyday life have been addressed. CARITAS KOSOVA has enabled the organization of the art therapy and theatre therapy for juveniles, and a music concert was also organized and the EQUIP program which is dedicated to stress and anger management is still operational.
