The competent state bodies shall have the positive obligation to implement clear mechanisms and procedures for preventing cases of suicide and selfharm. The competent state bodies shall be obliged to take preventive operative measures in case of early signs of suicide or self-harm. Upon admission to a PI, all persons deprived of liberty shall be given individual counseling by a psychologist, which will enable detecting persons at risk of suicide and placing them in cells or other places that have conditions corresponding to the specificity of their condition— thereby carrying out appropriate preventive work. To prevent cases of suicide or self-harm, access to psychological assistance shall be secured for persons deprived of liberty. The administration of the PI shall carry out constant surveillance of potential suicide by a person held in isolation—with particular attention paid to the person’s suspicious behavior. Means that can be used for taking away life (window bars, broken glass, belts, ties, and so on) shall not be accessible for persons deprived of liberty, which have self-harm or suicidal inclinations. Persons classified in the suicide risk group shall be under special surveillance for as long as it is necessary. The PI shall carry out coursed dedicated to self-harm and suicide prevention, in which the social and psychological officers of the penitentiary system, representatives of non-governmental organizations, and independent experts shall participate. In any place of deprivation of liberty, including PIs, awareness-raising measures shall be organized. 32
