police • All information was available in Finnish only. The Deputy-Ombudsman stated that since there might be persons detained at the facility who did not speak Finnish, the information should be translated into languages that are frequently needed. Follow-up: The police department responded that the daily programme at the detention facility, including information on shower arrangements and outdoor times, had been posted in a visible place at the detention facility. The daily programme will also be provided in the most common foreign languages needed (Swedish, English, Russian). • It has also been noted during the visits that the personnel at police prisons (including physicians visiting the police prison) are not aware of the right of persons deprived of their liberty to receive medical care at the detention unit according to permission by the physician provided by the police and at their own expense. Therefore, persons deprived of their liberty may not be informed about this right. The Deputy-Ombudsman has required that all persons deprived of their liberty must be informed of their right to receive medical care at detention facilities at their own expense. Follow-up: The National Police Board has instructed police departments that each person deprived of their liberty should be informed on arrival of their right to receive medical treatment at the detention facility according to permission by the physician provided by the police and at their own expense. • Police prisons do not, as a rule, provide written information about the authorities who supervise their operations to give to the detained persons. The Deputy-Ombudsman has noted that the police prisons are not obliged under the Act on the Treatment of Persons in Police Custody to provide such information. However, under the Remand Imprisonment Decree, a list of authorities overseeing the operations of police prisons must be provided. The Deputy-Ombudsman finds it a reasonable requirement that all persons deprived of their liberty have access to a list of authorities overseeing the operations of police prisons while at the police detention facilities. Follow-up: The National Police Board instructed police departments to provide, in police prisons, a written list of the main authorities overseeing the operations of police prisons. The list can be given to a person deprived of their liberty if necessary. The list was appended to the circular. 25
