Monitoring activities ­ erson is transferred, a standardised internal system for recording p such data should be established. iv. Brig Remand Prison (VS)17 In November 2019, the Commission visited the Brig Remand Prison. It conducted another short visit in August 2020 and found that most of its recommendations18 from previous visits had not been implemented. With regard to inmate health care provision, the Commission criticised the lack of a systematic medical interview upon admission and the infrequent referral of inmates with clinical psychiatric profiles to appropriate psychiatric specialists. Most of the Commission’s recommendations concerned general material conditions. The Commission is aware that structural considerations prevent meaningful changes. However, it is of the opinion that more effective action can be taken in those areas where change is feasible. The Commission emphasised that it considers the living conditions to be an issue. It criticised in particular the long periods of confinement and the lack of employment and sports opportunities. The Commission was particularly critical of the accommodation provided to women in detention at the facility. v. Tuilière Prison (VD)19 During its visit to the Tuilière facility in August, the Commission was pleased to note that the quality of health care provision was good. In particular, it welcomed the fact that the special needs of female inmates were taken into account. Gender-specific questions such as reproductive health history were also asked during the medical examination performed upon arrival. At the time of the visit, psychiatric care in the internal psychiatric unit was only provided for male inmates. As most female inmates experience mental health issues, the Commission recommended that the necessary resources be made available for appropriate care for female inmates.. With regard to material conditions, the Commission reiterated its recommendation to refrain from placing five women in a triple cell.
