4.2.2.2.3. Hygiene
In a number of rooms in the closed division, the walls are unpainted, with moisture and mould. The
prisoners are trying to maintain hygiene within the limits of the possible, though it is difficult given that
those are premises that need to be renovated.
The greatest number of prisoners use their own bedding that is mostly clean. There are no conditions
for washing the laundry, so it is sent home for wash. One part of laundry is washed and dried in the
rooms, which creates an unhealthy microclimate.
The institution provides cleaning supplies in sufficient quantities for cleaning and maintenance of
rooms. For personal hygiene, administration provides soap and toilet paper, but, by the statement of the
convicts, they are irregular and insufficient.
4.2.2.2.4. Right to health care
This right is analysed in this report under the Item 4.2.2.1.4.
4.2.2.2.5. The right to religious life
There are no special premises designed for practicing religion and satisfying religious needs of
prisoners. Specific needs of nutrition in relation to members of the Islamic faith are met.
4.2.2.2.6. Right to walk and recreation
In the closed division there is a terrain in the open, which is used for walks. Terrain is rectangular of
length 20m and of width 4 m. The protection from atmospheric precipitation and sunshine is not
provided. In the field, there are two baskets for basketball and exercise equipment (benches, shaft and
loom).
Unlike the closed, in the semi-open division, at the time of the visit, there was no space for walks. The
reconstruction that followed the visit provided a space for walking of 96m2, with additional equipment
(weights, push-ups devices and shaft).
4.2.2.2.7. The right to contact with families and lawyers
Convicted and persons sanctioned for misdemeanour offences are entitled to visits of members of their
immediate family, twice a month, for 60 minutes. Visiting time is on Saturdays, Sundays, national and
religious holidays. In addition to regular visits they have possibility of using extraordinary visits, if there
are justifiable reasons for this, and with the approval of an authorized person, once a month, for 30
minutes.
There are installed telephone booths for convicted persons, and they are used in time periods
previously envisaged for this.
4.2.2.2.8. House rules
During the interviews with prisoners we were informed that upon entering the prison convicts were
informed on the rights and obligations that have been established in house rules, or the House Rules
for enforcing sentences of imprisonment.
