Poročilo Varuha človekovih pravic Republike Slovenije o izvajanju nalog državnega preventivnega mehanizma za leto 2011 V zvezi z zagotavljanjem pravice do dela zaprtim osebam je treba tokrat kot svetla primera izpostaviti predvsem Odprti oddelek Rogoza ZPKZ Maribor, ki je tudi tokrat zagotavljal delo vsem zaprtim osebam, ki so to želele, in Polodprti oddelek Slovenska vas ZPKZ Dob pri Mirni, ki je zagotavljal delo večini obsojencev. Precej spodbudno je na tem področju kazalo tudi v ZPKZ Ljubljana, ki je delo zagotavljal večini obsojencev, žal pa ne vsem, ki bi to želeli. V ZPKZ Ig se je stanje od prejšnjega našega obiska precej izboljšalo, sprejemljivo pa je bilo tudi v Oddelku Nova Gorica ZPKZ Koper. V Oddelku Murska Sobota ZPKZ Maribor in ZPKZ Ljubljana smo morali sicer predlagati, da se še več dejavnosti za zaposlitve zaprtih oseb usmeri v pripornike. As an exception related to providing rights to work for imprisoned persons, the Rogoza Open Prison Section of ZPKZ Maribor should be emphasised, which has once again provided work for all imprisoned persons who wanted to work, and the Slovenska vas Semi-open Prison Section of ZPKZ Dob pri Mirni, which provided work for the majority of convicts. In this area, the situation was rather encouraging also in ZPKZ Ljubljana, which provided work for the majority of convicts, but not for all who wanted it. The situation in ZPKZ Ig has improved considerably since our last visit, and the situation in the Nova Gorica Section of ZPKZ Koper was also acceptable. We had to suggest to the Murska Sobota Section of ZPKZ Maribor and to ZPKZ Ljubljana that they offer more working activites to detained persons. Glede omogočanja izobraževanja zaprtim osebam smo lahko pohvalili predvsem prizadevanje Oddelka Nova Gorica ZPKZ Koper, čeprav smo morali v matičnem zavodu (ZPKZ Koper) predlagati, da v izobraževanje poskušajo pritegniti več zaprtih oseb. Podobno smo na Odprtem oddelku Rogoza ZPKZ Maribor in Oddelku Murska Sobota ZPKZ Maribor predlagali, naj poskušajo organizirati še več vsaj krajših oblik izobraževanja za zaprte osebe. In respect of providing education to imprisoned persons, we could commend the efforts of the Nova Gorica Section of ZPKZ Koper, although we had to suggest to the main institution (ZPKZ Koper) that it attract more imprisoned persons to education. We made a similar proposal to the Rogoza Open Section of ZPKZ Maribor and Murska Sobota Section of ZPKZ Maribor, suggesting they organise more, at least short forms of education for imprisoned persons. Glede knjižničnih storitev za zaprte osebe smo posebej pohvalili ZPKZ Koper, v katerem ima obsojenec, ki skrbi za knjižnico, nalogo, da izdela povzetke vsebine knjig, ki bodo prav prišle predvsem zaprtim osebam, ki iz takega ali drugačnega razloga same ne morejo v knjižnico. Takšen pristop bi bil dobrodošel tudi v drugih zavodih, delo v knjižnici pa bi bilo tudi vsebinsko bogatejše. Kot vselej smo tudi v letu 2011 občasno naleteli na pritožbe zaprtih oseb glede (pre)hrane (na primer ZPKZ Ig, Oddelek Nova Gorica ZPKZ Koper), vendar nismo ugotovili nobenih nedopustnosti. V ZPKZ Ljubljana so se pritoževali nad visokimi cenami v zavodski kantini. Na podlagi našega opozorila je zavod nato potrdil, da je med na novo uvedenim tedenskim pregledom cen ugotovil, da so cene nekaterih izdelkov višje, kot so bile navedene v ponudbenem predračunu. Zaznali smo tudi več težav v zvezi z zdravstveno oskrbo, izpostavljamo le nekaj najbolj izstopajočih. V ZPKZ Ig smo ugotovili, da se pojavljajo težave glede zdravstvenega zavarovanja otrok, ki se rodijo tujkam in nimajo očeta. V drugem primeru je izvedenka ugotovila, da v ZPKZ Dob pri Mirni sočasno predpisujejo substitucijsko terapijo in benzodiazepine, česar po doktrini ne bi smeli, razen v določenih izjemnih primerih. Zaradi pritoževanja zaprtih oseb v Oddelku Murska Sobota ZPKZ Maribor o dolgotrajnosti dostopa do zdravnika pa smo preverili tudi navzočnost zdravstvenega osebja in poudarili, da mora osebje takoj posredovati potrebo po zdravniški pomoči. Kadrovska zasedba v zavodih po naši presoji vselej ni bila zadovoljiva. Tako smo za Oddelek Murska Sobota ZPKZ Maribor, Oddelek Nova Gorica ZPKZ Koper in PD Radeče predlagali zaposlitev pedagoga, za Odprti oddelek Rogoza ZPKZ Maribor in ZPKZ Koper pa psihologa. Ugotavljali smo tudi, da v vseh zavodih oziroma na oddelkih še vedno ne izpeljujejo disciplinskih postopkov, čeprav pri zaprtih osebah še vedno prihaja do disciplinskih kršitev (na primer ZPKZ Ljubljana, Oddelek Murska Sobota ZPKZ Maribor). Kakor smo že poudarili v preteklosti, je prav, da se izpelje ustrezen disciplinski postopek, v katerem se ugotavlja očitana kršitev. Tako bo manj možnosti za arbitrarno odločanje in zagotovljenih več mo��nosti za objektivni nadzor sprejetih odločitev. 16 Implementation of the Duties and Powers of the National Preventive Mechanism in 2011 Državni preventivni mehanizem v Republiki Sloveniji po Opcijskem protokolu h Konvenciji OZN proti mučenju in drugim krutim, nečloveškim ali poniževalnim kaznim ali ravnanju With respect to library services for imprisoned persons, we particulary commended ZPKZ Koper, in which the convict taking care of the library must prepare summaries of the books which would be useful for imprisoned persons who, for some reason or other, cannot come to the library. Such an approach would also be welcome in other institutions, thereby enriching the work in the library. As always, in 2011 we occasionally encountered complaints regarding food (e.g. ZPKZ Ig, the Nova Gorica Section of ZPKZ Koper); however, we did not find any unacceptable conditions. In ZPKZ Ljubljana, complaints were made regarding high prices in the institution’s canteen. Based on our warning, the institution confirmed that the newly introduced weekly inspection showed that the prices of some products were higher than listed in the estimate in the offer. We also detected several problems related to health care; some of the more outstanding are indicated below. In ZPKZ Ig, we found that there were problems related to the health care of children who are born to foreigners and have no known father. In another case, the expert found that in ZPKZ Dob pri Mirni, substitution therapy and benzodiazepines were prescribed simultaneously, which is contrary to medical practice and should not be done except in exceptional cases. Because of complaints from imprisoned persons in the Murska Sobota Section of ZPKZ Maribor concerning long waits to see the doctor, we also inspected the presence of medical staff and emphasised that they should immediately communicate the need for medical attention. In our view, staffing in the institutions is not always satisfactory. In the Murska Sobota Section of ZPKZ Maribor, Nova Gorica Section of ZPKZ Koper and in PD Radeče, we proposed they employ a teacher, and in the Rogoza Open Prison Section of ZPKZ Maribor and in ZPKZ, they should employ a psychologist. We also established that not all institutions or sections performed disciplinary proceedings, despite the fact that imprisoned persons still committed disciplinary breaches (for example, in ZPKZ Ljubljana and Murska Sobota Section of ZPKZ Maribor). As emphasised in the past, proper disciplinary proceedings to establish alleged breaches should be conducted. This will reduce arbitrary decision-making and provide more possibilities for an objective oversight of adopted decisions.
