course includes theory, practice, tactics and physical training.51 When drafting training curricula, it is important to consider sufficient frequency of trainings and relevance of training topics. Special attention should be paid to the ability of penitentiary system employees to work as a multidisciplinary team. Knowledge received at trainings should then be actually applied in practice. As the international experience shows, translation of the knowledge gained at training courses in practice is not easy because the prison staff prefer to do things the way they have always done.52 In order to maintain sustainability and practicability of training, an effective mechanism for assessing training results and supervising their implementation in practice should be developed. Training effectiveness may be evaluated by different means such as measuring participant satisfaction and their willingness/readiness to use the received knowledge in practice, testing their skills of making situational analysis and finding solutions, observation by supervisors to see whether the training participant has improved his/her skills, and providing feedback about the use of the knowledge in practice by the training participants. 2.3.4.  PRISONER CLASSIFICATION Prisoner classification should be performed in a way that a precise analysis of each prisoner’s risks and needs is produced. This is important to ease management and control of prisoner behavior. An effective prisoner classification system should also meet requirements such as reliability, accuracy and equality of rights. The changes effected to the Imprisonment Code on 16 April 2014 determined the following types of places of deprivation of liberty: a low-risk place of deprivation of liberty, a half-open place of deprivation of liberty, a closed place of deprivation of liberty and a special-risk place of deprivation of liberty. The penitentiary system also includes a Juvenile Rehabilitation Institution and a Women’s Special Institution.53 Pursuant to Article 46(2) of the Imprisonment Code, the Chairperson of the Penitentiary Department determines the type of deprivation of liberty in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Code. Under paragraph 4 of the same Article, based on a decision of the Chairperson of the Penitentiary Department, a convicted person may be moved, in order to serve the remaining sentence, to a place of deprivation of liberty of the same or other type, due to systematic violation of the institution’s regulations, illness and/or risk level for security purposes, on account of the institution’s reorganization, liquidation or overcrowding, or where there is a circumstance described in Article 58(1) of this Code or there are other important, justified circumstances and/or based on the convicted person’s consent. Risk assessment and periodic review is performed 51 52 53 Information about the basic training course is accessible at http://pptc.ge/?action=page&p_ id=130&lang=geo last viewed 14.02.2015].
