All inmates have a full medical control while entering in the penitentiary establishment. The medical examination is also mandatory when inmate is transferred from one penitentiary establishment to another before allocation to the concrete cell. Non-governmental sources: In certain establishments prisoners reportedly complain about the food ration and quality of meal. Despite the reform undertaken in the healthcare system of penitentiary institutions, inadequate medical treatment of prisoners remains the most serious problem in almost all establishments. Prisoners reportedly complain about delayed medical treatment and delayed transfer to the medical institutions. Requirements of the new Code of Imprisonment about routine medical check-ups, medical examination after being transferred from one establishment to another and/or when entering the prison establishment (Art 75(5), 76 and 120) is still not fulfilled in any of the establishments. For these purposes the establishments still use approximately one week quarantine regime for the new prisoners before assigning them to the cell. The conditions in some facilities are A/HRC/19/61/Add.3 80 Recommendations (E/CN.4/2006/6/Add.3) Steps taken in previous years (See: A/HRC/4/33/Add.2, A/HRC/7/3/Add.2 and A/HRC/16/52/Add.2) hospitals within the penitentiary system provide medical treatment to convicts).

Vocational programmes such as language and computer classes continue to take place at penitentiary institutions.
