PRISONS 3 – PRISONS The Joint Commission visited Cottbus-Dissenchen Prison and Bruchsal Prison. It also visited GarmischPartenkirchen Prison during the G7 Summit, when it rendered administrative assistance to the police and was being used as a police custody facility and not as a prison. There was no reason to raise any objections. The Joint Commission rated the conditions of detention in Bruchsal Prison as incompatible with human dignity on account of two people being placed in single-occupancy cells. The cells in question measured around 9m2 and had a toilet which was partitioned off from the rest of the cell only by means of a curtain. This situation does not comply with the minimum conditions set by the Federal Constitutional Court when it comes to the multiple occupancy of prison cells.22 The Joint Commission noted a comparable situation on the occasion of its visit to Konstanz Prison in 2013. So that it can fulfil its preventive remit, the Joint Commission’s recommendations not only have to be implemented in the facility it visits, but also in all facilities of the same type, including those in other Länder. 22 Federal Constitutional Court, order of 7 Nov. 2011, file no. 1 BvR 1403/09, margin no. 39 – juris Bremen Police Headquarters Dortmund Police Headquarters X Erfurt North Police Station Frankfurt (Oder) Police Station X X X X X X X X X X Cleanliness, hygiene X Provision of blankets/pillows X Examination by a doctor Bonn Police Headquarters Dimmable lighting X Visibility of toilets X Custody records Strip-searches Berlin North-East Police Custody Instruction about rights Physical restraint Recommendation: 4 – THE POLICE X X X X X X X X X X Central Police Detention Facility in Garmisch-Partenkirchen Cologne Police Custody Lübeck Central Detention Facility X Neunkirchen (Saar) Police Station Potsdam Police Station X X X X X X X X X X Saarbrücken St. Johann Police Station X The Joint Commission visited 11 police stations in Bavaria, Berlin, Brandenburg, Bremen, North Rhine- X Westphalia, Saarland, Schleswig-Holstein and Thuringia in the course of 2015.
