the investigation rooms that does not have an appropriate therapeutic environment.
It is virtually impossible to conduct group therapy sessions in the Institution no. 3. In
the monitoring group’s opinion, the inmates at the Institution no. 3 do not have the
possibility to engage in any valuable activity that would be interesting to them – a
fact that badly affects their health and well-being. In addition, the existing situation
creates an unhealthy and stressful environment negatively affecting both the relations
between the prisoners and the prison staff and the maintenance of good order and
security.107
Although the Institution no. 6 was undergoing through a major overhaul during the
reporting period, a number of prisoners were serving their sentence there anyway.
The Institution offered only one educational program “Christian Talks”, which lasted
2 months and involved 10 prisoners. A table below shows the activities implemented
at various penitentiary institutions and the number of prisoners who partook in the
activities.
