44 criminal sanctions • In another prison, the room used for child visitors had been furnished with children’s needs in mind. The prison had also produced a picture book for visitors, especially children, so that the prisoner could talk about life in prison and explain the conditions they were in, which may help alleviate their family members’ concerns and worries about the situation their loved one is in. The Deputy-Ombudsman highly commended the picture book idea and hoped that this initiative would be adopted in all prisons. The picture book was authored by two remand prisoners together with the prison psychologist and social worker. Exercise yards and access to the outdoors • The exercise yards of the prison had no rain shelters. The Ombudsman has frequently raised the issue of the lack of rain shelters in prison exercise yards. The Deputy-Ombudsman stressed that the prison should encourage prisoners to spend time outdoors regardless of the weather, and that prisoners should have shelter against adverse weather. The Deputy-Ombudsman recommended that rain shelters are installed in outdoor areas or that the prison provides the prisoners with weatherproof clothing. Follow-up: The prison responded that the plans and cost estimates for building a rain shelter had already been made. The project had received funding and will be completed according to the agreed schedule.
