(m) Place persons with mental disabilities, and particularly those suffering from severe mental illness, in a specialized psychiatric institution; 42 Stand Up for Jamaica. (2011). Situation during the visit (A/HRC/16/52/Add.3) facilities were generally better than in police stations; however, many prisons were found to be overcrowded, lacking sanitary facilities and any meaningful opportunities for education, work and recreation. Corporal punishment was routinely applied in remand and correctional facilities. Persons with mental disabilities deprived of their liberty are not held in a separate psychiatric institution, but detained in a special wing of different correctional centres. Information received in the reporting period international standards, it is severely hampered by a lack of financial resources due to budgetary constraints. The Government is, however, trying to improve conditions with the limited resources that are available and is actively seeking funding for the construction of new prison facilities. In the interim, however, repairs have been affected to a number of cells, dormitories and prison facilities in order to improve the living conditions of inmates. There is also closer monitoring of inmate/staff relationship and enhanced training opportunities for prison staff to reduce the number of incidents of abuse as well as of conflicts between staff and inmates. Inmates are also exposed to education and skills training. The Government will continue to use its best endeavours to address the situation in prisons and lock-ups.

At the correctional facilities, persons with mental issues are divided into two groups (a) those which are unfit to plea and are held indefinitely until the court rules on the matter and (b) those that have been sentenced. For those that are unfit to plea, it is a requirement by law that their situation be reviewed frequently. As such, the A/HRC/19/61/Add.3 138 Recommendation (A/HRC/16/52/Add.3) their liberty are confined in facilities where the conditions comply with international minimum sanitary and hygienic standards and that detainees are provided with basic necessities, such as adequate floor space, bedding, food and health care; convicted prisoners should be provided with opportunities for work, education, recreation and rehabilitation activities;
