information obtained during the visits. When needed, they took photos so to adequately document the material, which will be the basis for possible subsequent recommendations. After the visit, the team would meet officers again and presented observations and first impressions and discussed the possibilities to immediately correct noticed defects or irregularities, of course, depending on the real possibilities and their nature. At this point we are pointing out to the role and mode of action of preventive mechanism and the difference in relation to the inspection control. The NPM is a mechanism in partnership to state institutions and its goal is the prevention of torture, respect and promotion of human rights of persons deprived of their liberty as a vulnerable category. The NPM has no repressive powers. It points out also to some conditions and circumstances that have so far been possible and common as stereotypes or prejudices. Its first goal is to achieve the desired standards in this area in the quickest and most painless way. After the visit, the NPM team made the analysis of the collected material, they systematized observations, summarized impressions and, based on this, drafted an individual Report on visited institution.
