persons who were in the prison, was 369; in PDOT "Varna" - 48 and in PDOT "Razdelna" - 159. In 2013 262 PDL were encouraged under Art. 98, para 1, p. 1-5 of LESD. 1475 PDL used home leave under Art. 98, para 1, p. 7-9 of LESD. The number of disciplinary penalties imposed on PDL, defendants and accused in 2013 were 1190. In the cases of 66 PDL enforcement of the sentence was postponed pursuant to art. 107 of LESD. The penalties imposed were appealed against: before the court - 45, confirmed - 39, repealed - 5; before CDEP- 4, out of which all the four have not been respected. There was no repealed decisions of the Committee under Art. 73 of LESD pursuant to art. 74, para 2 of LESD. Reference concerning rewards and punishments of PDL from the prison in the city of Varna for the period starting 1st January 2014 and ending 8th July 2014, showed that the total number of penalties was 184, and the awards were 1108. In 2013 the number of the meetings held by the Committee under Art. 73 LESD was six. The analysis of the practice of the Committee showed the following: proposed for replacement of the regime with lighter and replaced regime - 191 PDL; proposed for replacement of the regime with heavier and replaced regime - 16 PDL; proposed for transfer to PD of lighter type and transferred - 109 PDL; proposed for transfer to PD of heavier type and transferred - 16 PDL; proposed for release on parole by the Committee under Art. 73 of LESD - 132 PDL; early released on parole on the proposal of the Committee under Art. 73 of LESD - 112 PDL. Out of the number of early on parole 112 PDL with probation measures were 79 PDL. 22 PDL were proposed for release on parole by the Regional Prosecutor's Office - Varna. All were released without probation measures. From the Protocols No 2 / 16.04.2014, No 3 / 12.06.2014, and No 4 / 19.06.2014, that had been required in the course of the inspection in 2014, it was seen that the share of the proposed PDL for release on parole and replacement of the regime in lighter compared to the number of the prisoners formally acquired the rights to it remains relatively low - a finding made in the examination of the documentation in almost all prisons inspected in 2014. The activities of the sector "Social activities and educational work" (SAEW) in 2013 and 2014 continues to be relatively narrow because of the lack of suitable premises. In 2013, 422 PDL went through the first module of the programme for adaptation. The second and third module have passed 60 PDL. There is a branch of the school "Argira Zhechkova" to the Prison in Sliven. In the academic year 2012/2014, 85 students began the school sessions, divided into 6 classes. Other group activities that take place in the prison - city of Varna, are: group work with representatives of non-profit association "Altruist" - Varna, under the project "Prevention of antisocial behaviour of offenders serving time for effective penalties in the Varna Prison"; year-round activities of the art club existing more that an year and the club "Poetry"; monthly tournaments of chess, backgammon, bridge, table tennis and football. The NPM team has found for a successive time that the problem of the high workload of inspectors of SAEW in the Varna prison continues to be present. The tendency an inspector to work with an average of 85 PDL is preserved.
