Considering the state of human rights, the NPM has evaluated the state of the material conditions in the
Prison for short sentences in Podgorica, which refers to the accommodation capacities, hygiene,
nutrition, health care, heating, lighting, ventilation, sanitation and open space for walks.
They noted excessive number of beds in a number of rooms, so it is necessary to adjust the number of
beds in these rooms with the provisions of the Rulebook on the conditions that must be met in facilities
for detention of persons deprived of their liberty and the European Prison Rules.
Also, there is no separated room designed for people with disabilities who use wheelchairs, with
additional content.
Health care is provided, but the constant presence of doctors is essential.
Starting from the identified state, the Protector as the NPM recommended to the Ministry of Justice and
the Institute for the execution of criminal sanctions to:
Adjust the number of beds to the surface in rooms under the provisions of the Rulebook on the
conditions that must be met in facilities for detention of persons deprived of their liberty and the
European Prison Rules;
Make conditions for regular washing and drying of laundry;
Provide special premises to meet the religious needs of prisoners;
