Izvajanje nalog in pooblastil državnega preventivnega mehanizma od začetka delovanja v letu 2008 do leta 2014 V letu 2014 smo opravili 39 obiskov različnih ustanov. Tako smo obiskali 16 policijskih postaj (od tega je bil en obisk kontrolni), in sicer: PP Trebnje, PP Novo mesto, PP Ptuj, PP Gornja Radgona, PP Trbovlje, PP Litija, PP Nova Gorica, PP Bovec, PP Ljubljana Šiška, PP Ljubljana Vič, PP Vrhnika, PP Logatec, PP Domžale, PP Kamnik, PP Središče ob Dravi in Center za pridržanje Ljubljana; sedem zavodov za prestajanje kazni zapora (Oddelek Nova Gorica ZPKZ Koper, Odprti oddelek Ig ZPKZ Ljubljana, Odprti oddelek Rogoza ZPKZ Maribor, Celje, Oddelek Murska Sobota ZPKZ Maribor), pet socialnovarstvenih zavodov (Center starejših Pristan, Dom starejših Kranjska Gora – Dom Viharnik, Center starejših Notranje Gorice, Center starejših Zimzelen Topolšica in Dom starejših Idila, d. o. o.); dva posebna socialnovarstvena zavoda (Dom Lukavci in Prizma Ponikve), štiri psihiatrične bolnišnice (UKC Maribor, Oddelek za psihiatrijo; Psihiatrično bolnišnico Begunje; Psihiatrično bolnišnico Ormož in UKC Maribor, Oddelek za psihiatrijo, Enoto za forenzično psihiatrijo) in štiri zavode za vzgojo in izobraževanje otrok in mladostnikov s čustvenimi in vedenjskimi motnjami (VIZ Višnja Gora, VZ Logatec, Mladinski dom Jarše, CUDV Črna na Koroškem) ter Center za tujce. Vsi obiski (razen obiska Oddelka Nova Gorica ZPKZ Koper, ZPKZ Ig in kontrolnega obiska Centra za pridržanje v Ljubljani) so bili opravljeni brez predhodnega obvestila o obisku. Skupno število obiskov je nekoliko manjše, kot je bilo predvideno v programu obiskov, in sicer zaradi daljše bolniške odsotnosti člana DPM in porodniške odsotnosti druge članice DPM. Načrtujemo pa, da se bodo v letu 2015 obiski opravljali praktično vsak teden oziroma da bo teh obiskov več, kot je bilo to običajno, torej okoli 60. Največ nadzorov je bilo tako tudi v letu 2014 opravljenih na policijskih postajah (opravljeni so bili v okviru osmih enodnevnih obiskov), in sicer spomladi (11) in pozimi (devet), poleti štirje nadzori in jeseni sedem nadzorov. Vsi obiski so bili enodnevni, razen obiska ZPKZ Ig, ki je bil dvodneven. Le dve lokaciji krajev odvzema prostosti – dva oddelka zavodov za prestajanje kazni zapora (Odprti oddelek Ig ZPKZ Ljubljana in Odprti oddelek Rogoza ZPKZ Maribor) – so v letu 2014 obiskali le Varuhovi uslužbenci kot predstavniki DPM. Na drugi strani noben obisk DPM ni bil opravljen le s strani predstavnikov nevladnih organizacij. To pomeni, da je bila velika večina, tj. 37 od skupno 39 lokacij, obiskanih s strani skupine DPM, ki so jo sestavljali tako Varuhovi uslužbenci kot tudi predstavniki NVO. NVO SKUP je sodelovala pri obiskih skupno 21 lokacij, od tega 10 policijskih postaj, treh vzgojnoizobraževalnih zavodov, dveh zavodov za prestajanje kazni zapora, dveh psihiatričnih bolnišnic, dveh socialnovarstvenih zavodov ter enega posebnega socialnovarstvenega zavoda in Centra za tujce. NVO PIC je sodelovala pri obiskih skupno 17 lokacij, od tega petih policijskih postaj, petih zavodov za prestajanje kazni zapora, treh socialnovarstvenih zavodov, treh vzgojno-izobraževalnih zavodov in enega posebnega socialnovarstvenega zavoda. NVO ZDUS je sodelovala pri obiskih skupno 10 lokacij, od tega treh psihiatričnih bolnišnic, treh socialnovarstvenih zavodov, treh zavodov za prestajanje kazni zapora in enega posebnega socialnovarstvenega zavoda. NVO NP je sodelovala pri obiskih skupno petih lokacij, od tega štirih psihiatričnih bolnišnic in enega socialnovarstvenega zavoda. Po dva predstavnika (različnih) NVO sta sodelovala pri obiskih štirih zavodov za prestajanje kazni zapora (obisk ZPKZ Ig, kjer sta poleg predstavnice ZDUS sodelovala tudi dva predstavnika PIC, vendar posamično), štirih socialnovarstvenih zavodov, treh psihiatričnih bolnišnic, dveh vzgojno-izobraževalnih zavodov in enega posebnega socialnovarstvenega zavoda. Po trije predstavniki (različnih) organizacij pa so sodelovali v dveh primerih, in sicer pri obisku ZPKZ Ljubljana in psihiatrične bolnišnice (Enote za forenzično psihiatrijo Oddelka za psihiatrijo UKC Maribor). Pogodbeni izvedenec medicinske stroke je v okviru obiska DPM sodeloval pri obiskih 14 ustanov – največkrat v primeru socialnovarstvenega zavoda (Center starejših Pristan, Dom starejših Kranjska Gora – Dom Viharnik, Center starejših Notranje Gorice, Center starejših Zimzelen Topolšica, Dom starejših Idila, d. o. o.) in psihiatričnih bolnišnic (Oddelek za psihiatrijo UKC Maribor, Psihiatrična bolnišnica Begunje, Psihiatrična bolnišnica Ormož, Enota za forenzično psihiatrijo Oddelka za psihiatrijo UKC Maribor), trikrat pri obiskih zavodov za prestajanje kazni zapora (ZPKZ Ljubljana, ZPKZ Ig in ZPMZKZ Celje) in enkrat pri obisku posebnega socialnovarstvenega zavoda (Dom Lukavci) in Centra za tujce. 20 poročilo o izvajanju nalog DPM v letu 2014 DržavnI preventivnI mehanizEm po Opcijskem protokolu h Konvenciji OZN proti mučenju in drugim krutim, nečloveškim ali poniževalnim kaznim ali ravnanju Implementation of Duties and Powers of the National Preventive Mechanism in 2014 In 2014, we conducted 39 visits to various institutions. We thus visited 16 police stations (one control visit included) in Trebnje, Novo mesto, Ptuj, Gornja Radgona, Trbovlje, Litija, Nova Gorica, Bovec, Ljubljana-Šiška, Ljubljana-Vič, Vrhnika, Logatec, Domžale, Kamnik, Središče ob Dravi and Ljubljana Police Detention Centre; seven prisons (Nova Gorica Unit of Koper Prison, Ig Open Unit of Ljubljana Prison, Rogoza Open Unit of Maribor Prison, Celje Prison, Murska Sobota Unit of Maribor Prison); five social care institutions (Pristan Retirement Home in Vipava, Viharnik Retirement Home in Kranjska Gora, Notranje Gorice Residential Centre for the Elderly, Zimzelen Retirement Home in Topolšica and Retirement Home Idila d. o. o.); two special social care institutions (Dom Lukavci Special Social Care Institution and Dom Prizma Ponikve Special Social Care Institution); four psychiatric hospitals (Maribor University Medical Centre, Department of Psychiatry; Begunje Psychiatric Hospital, Ormož Psychiatric Hospital and Maribor University Medical Centre, Department of Psychiatry, Unit for Forensic Psychiatry) and four institutions for the education of children and adolescents with emotional and behavioural disorders in Višja Gora, Logatec, Jarše and Črna na Koroškem Special Education, Work and Care Centre, and the Aliens Centre. All visits (except the visits to Nova Gorica Unit of Koper Prison and Ig Prison and the control visit to Ljubljana Police Detention Centre) were conducted without preliminary notification. The total number of visits is somewhat lower than anticipated in the programme of visits due to the extended sick leave of an NPM member and the maternity leave of another NPM member. Visits in 2015 are to be conducted almost every week, or the number of visits will be higher than usual, i.e. about sixty. Most visits in 2014 included visits to police stations (eight one-day visits), i.e. eleven in spring and nine in winter, four supervisions in summer and seven in spring. All visits took one day, except the visit to Ig Prison, which took two days. Only two visits to places of deprivation of liberty, i.e. two prison units (Ig Open Unit of Ljubljana Prison and Rogoza Open Unit of Maribor Prison) were visited only by the Ombudsman’s employees as the NPM representatives in 2014. On the other hand, none of the visits was conducted only by representatives of NGOs, which means that the majority, i.e. 37 of a total of 39 locations, were visited by the NPM group composed of the Ombudsman’s employees and representatives of NGOs. NGO SKUP participated in visits to a total of 21 locations, of which ten were police stations, three educational institutions, two prisons, two psychiatric hospitals, two social care institutions and one special social care institution and the Aliens Centre. NGO PIC participated in visits to a total of 17 locations, of which five were police stations, five prisons, three social care institutions, three educational institutions and one special social care institution. NGO ZDUS participated in visits to a total of ten locations, of which three were psychiatric hospitals, three social care institutions, three prisons and one special social care institution. NGO NP participated in visits to a total of five locations, of which four were psychiatric hospitals and one social care institution. Two representatives of (different) NGOs participated in each visit to four prisons (Ig Prison, where two representatives of PIC were also present in addition to the representative of ZDUS, but individually), four social care institutions, three psychiatric hospitals, two educational institutions and one special social care institution. Three representatives of (different) organisations participated in two cases, i.e. the visit to Ljubljana Prison and the psychiatric hospital (Unit for Forensic Psychiatry of the Department of Psychiatry of Maribor University Medical Centre). The contractual medical expert participated in visits to 14 institutions, most frequently in the case of a social care institution (Pristan Retirement Home in Vipava, Viharnik Retirement Home in Kranjska Gora, Notranje Gorice Residential Centre for the Elderly, Zimzelen Retirement Home in Topolšica and Retirement Home Idila d. o. o.) and psychiatric hospitals (Department of Psychiatry of Maribor University Medical Centre, Begunje Psychiatric Hospital, Ormož Psychiatric Hospital and Unit for Forensic Psychiatry of the Department of Psychiatry of Maribor University Medical Centre), three visits to prisons (Ljubljana, Ig and Celje) and one visit to a special social care institution (Dom Lukavci Special Social Care Institution) and the Aliens Centre.
