opcat inspections in 2019 March 2020. The intention is for the Parliamentary Ombudsmen to hold such forum meetings twice a year. 2.2 Places where individuals are deprived of their liberty At the end of 2019, individuals were deprived of their liberty at, inter alia, the following places: • 45 prisons with approximately 4,500 places (the Prison and Probation Service) • 32 remand prisons with approximately 2,200 places (the Prison and Probation Service) • 124 police custody facilities with approximately 1,300 places (the Police Authority) • 23 special residential homes for young people with approximately 700 places (the National Board of Institutional Care) • 11 special residential homes for substance abusers with approximately 400 places (the National Board for Institutional Care) • At least 80 institutions for compulsory psychiatric care and forensic psychiatric care with approximately 4,000 places (Regions) • 6 migration detention centres with 528 places (the Swedish Migration Agency) The figures presented above are based partly on estimates and include only permanent places. Compared with the latest OPCAT report, the number of places has increased in the Swedish Migration Agency’s detention centres. The strained occupancy situation within the Prison and Probation Service has led to work within the agency to create different types of temporary places. Such places are not included in the enumeration above. 2.3 Inspections and dialogue meetings In 2019, the OPCAT Unit conducted 29 inspections and held nine dialogue meetings. In selecting the objects for inspection, the theme domestic transportation of individuals deprived of their liberty was an important factor. Furthermore, at the beginning of the year the Parliamentary Ombudsmen started an own-initiative inquiry into the occupancy situation within the prison and remand prison regime. This own-initiative inquiry required a reprioritisation of the OPCAT inspections to be carried out. During this owninitiative inquiry, the Parliamentary Ombudsmen carried out ten targeted inspections of, inter alia, remand prisons. 15
