With regard to the disciplinary offences and penalties the inspection of the team of the NPM noted that in 2011 a total of 362 violations had been identified. In 2013 198 PDL were awarded and 424 were punished. In 2014 (as at September) penalties imposed on PDL were 156, while 130 PDL were awarded. From the information provided it is visible a tendency to reduce the penalties imposed. Where a violation of PDL is identified, it is reflected in a memorandum drawn up by the prison staff. The social worker gives a proposal to the head of the prison on the imposition of the penalty and its kind, taking also the explanations of the guilty person. An auxiliary disciplinary commission was established, which includes Deputy Heads of the prison responsible for the security and the social activity. This allows for the unification of the disciplinary practice in the individual units of the administration. As a positive finding may be noted the fact that the head of the prison visited the PDL every Friday. The SAEW inspectors and psychologists at the prison in the city of Pleven implemented jointly the following programmes: "Programme for adaptation of newly admitted offenders"; "Programme for adaptation of convicted"; "Medium-term programme for drug addicts"; "Programme convicted"; "Implementation of national standards for working with the standards of life prisoners"; "Formation of driving skills"; "Programme on Anger Management"; "Thinking Skills Programme"; "Pottery and satirical sculpture"; Clubs - literature, flowers, newspaper, theatre studio, guitar, lectures on cinema"; "Training for initial computer literacy"; "Building agricultural skills"; "Gardening"; "Re-socialization of inmates through vocational training and education" and "Life in freedom - challenges and choices." In the field of re-socialization, together with the NGO "Arola" - city of Sofia is implementing the project "Everyone is entitled to a second chance." There is a branch of the school in the city of Lovech in the prison. It educates the PDL who so requested, by completing elementary and primary level. In 2013, in the school were enrolled and trained 62 PDL. The necessary documentation for 43 PDL wishing to continue their education from 5 to 12 grade, had been completed and sent to the Chief Directorate "Execution of Punishments". Out of all persons who requested so to the school in Lovech have been transferred 23 PDL. In 2013 the Committee under Art. 73 of LESD considered favourably 13 proposed PDL for conditional release, all of which were approved by the court. 38 PDL have been transferred from an establishment of closed type to an establishment of open type. For two PDL the regime was changed into heavier than the original one, and in the lighter for 50 PDL.
