44 opcat inspections and follow-up ombudsman decisions windows of their living quarters, to protect inmates’ integrity and prevent them looking into other agencies’ premises. Serious criticism of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service, Jönköping Remand Prison, for shortcomings in the treatment of an inmate etc. ref. no. 6413-2014, decision of 21 April 2015 At the end of October 2013, the Prison and Probation Service requested that the police service transport an elderly woman to a prison to serve a short term of imprisonment. The request was carried out by the police service on 28 August 2014 and the convicted person was brought by the police to Jönköping Remand Prison. Upon arrival at the remand prison, she was put under surveillance due to her advanced age and her “uncertain” state of health. The remand prison took no further action to investigate her condition, for example having her examined by medical personnel. She did not meet with the remand prison nurse until the day after her arrival and she was transported to Ystad Prison later that day. On 30 August, an on-call physician noted that the inmate was confused and dehydrated, and that she needed to be taken to hospital immediately. The Parliamentary Ombudsman’s decision directs serious criticism at Jönköping Remand Prison for not giving the inmate access to the healthcare she needed, and for deciding that she would be transported to Ystad Prison in spite of her poor health. The remand prison is also criticised for not informing the Prison and Probation Service’s placement unit of the inmate’s condition, which resulted in the prison not being able to prepare for her arrival and to a delay in finding a more suitable placement. Ystad Prison is also criticised for having delayed alerting the on-call physician, even though the inmate was in such a poor condition that she was found on the floor of her living quarters. The Parliamentary Ombudsman decision also contains statements regarding the Prison and Probation Service’s procedures for requesting the assistance of the police service to transport convicted persons to prison. Criticism of the National Board of Institutional Care’s LVM homes Runnagården and Renforsen for the homes’ earlier handling of postcards suspected of being “laced” with drugs ref. no. 7236-2014, decision of 10 December 2015 During inspections of two LVM homes, the Parliamentary Ombudsman noted that, at that time, the homes had procedures that involved postcards addressed to inmates being confiscated if they were suspected of being “laced” with drugs, and that they were given to the individual when he or she was discharged from the home. These procedures have now been changed.
