1.1 Obiski v zavodih za prestajanje kazni zapora in mladoletniškega zapora 1.1 Visit to prisons and juvenile prisons V prvem nadstropju oddelka za obsojence omare niso imele polic, obsojenci pa naj bi po njihovih navedbah morali sami kupovati ključavnice, če želijo, da je njihova omara zaklenjena. Ugotovljeno je bilo tudi, da so ležišča iztrošena in nečista. Iz navedb obsojencev je bilo ugotovljeno, da so obsojenci iz sob št. 202, 203 in 204 v jutranjem času zaklenjeni na hodnik pred svoje sobe, posledično pa naj ne bi imeli možnosti uporabe stranišča. Namestitev v sobi št. 220 je neprimerna zaradi njene lege, predvsem pa zaradi kar trojnih rešetk, ki otežujejo dotok zraka in svetlobe v prostor in ovirajo pogled skozi okno, poleg tega je prostorsko primerna le za eno osebo. Sobi št. 131 in 309 sta bili opremljeni z držali za pomoč pri uporabi toalete, vendar pa so bile stene v sobi št. 131 popisane in vrata razbita. DPM je namestitev držal za uporabo toalete sicer pozdravil, a v zvezi s poškodbami pohištva in inventarja predlagal, da se te sprotno sanirajo. DPM je zaprosil tudi za pojasnilo, ali je po njegovem obisku prišlo do kakšnih premestitev in ali zavodske kapacitete omogočajo ločitev oseb v uklonilnem zaporu od obsojencev – in če ne, kako zavod take situacije rešuje. Ob obisku so nekateri obsojenci problematizirali pomanjkanje toaletnega papirja in sredstev za čiščenje oziroma higieno, zato je DPM zaprosil za pojasnilo, po kakšnem ključu se obsojencem navedena sredstva delijo in kako se ravna v primeru pomanjkanja le-teh. Ne nazadnje pa je DPM zaprosil tudi za pojasnilo glede navedb, da na polodprtem oddelku televizor ne deluje in da ga ne poskušajo popraviti, poleg tega naj bi nekateri obsojenci morali posodo pomivati z mrzlo vodo zaradi pokvarjenega grelnika. The wardrobes on the first floor had no shelves, and according to the prisoners, they had to buy locks themselves if they wanted to keep the closets locked. It was also established that the mattresses were worn out and dirty. The prisoners stated that prisoners from rooms 202, 203 and 204 were locked out of their rooms in the morning and had to stay in the corridor in front of their rooms. As a result, they were also unable to use toilets. Accommodation in room 220 is not suitable due to its position, particularly due to triple bars which prevent air and light getting into the room and hinder the view through the window. Furthermore, the room is suitable for accommodating only one person. Rooms 131 and 309 were equipped with handles aiding the use of the toilet; however, there is graffiti on the walls in room 131 and the door was broken. The NPM commended the installation of handles aiding the use of the toilet, but proposed that damaged furniture and equipment be repaired promptly. The NPM also asked whether any relocations had occurred since its last visit and if the institution’s capacities enable the separation of persons imprisoned for the non-payment of fines and convicted persons, and if not, how the institution resolved such situations. Some prisoners mentioned the lack of toilet paper and cleaning or hygiene agents, so the NPM asked for an explanation of the method of distributing these agents to prisoners and how their shortage was handled. Finally, the NPM also inquired about information that the television was not working in the semi-open unit and was not being repaired. Furthermore, some prisoners had to wash dishes with cold water, because the boiler was out of order. Bivalne razmere se v oddelku za pripor od prejšnjega obiska niso bistveno spremenile. Sobe so še vedno (pre)tesne, sicer pa so v večini primerov primerno vzdrževane. Od 13. 7. 2012 ima del pripora (bivalna prostora št. 406 in 407 – v času obiska DPM devet pripornikov) spremenjen (odprti) režim in sta omenjeni sobi del dneva odklenjeni. Na podlagi elaborata o postopni preureditvi pripora z dne 27. 5. 2012 naj bi zavod bivalne prostore odprtega režima pripora preuredil, vendar je to idejo opustil, saj pristojno ministrstvo ni odobrilo finančnih sredstev, zato je DPM predlagal, da se preučijo možnosti za zagotovitev potrebnih finančnih sredstev za izvedbo elaborata o odpiranju celotnega pripora. Ugotovljeno je bilo tudi, naj bi priporniki v nekaterih sobah dobili hišni in dnevni red dan pred obiskom DPM, ker ga pred tem v sobah ni bilo, zato je DPM opozoril, da morajo biti notranji predpisi zavoda zaprtim osebam vselej na razpolago. Ležišča so bila v določenih sobah v izredno slabem stanju (soba št. 307). Ponekod je DPM opazil tudi raztrgane brisače, ki so imele v sredini luknjo z razlogom, da so lahko priporniki z njimi pomivali tla, saj jim je za čiščenje zmanjkalo krp. Priporniki so skorajda soglasno izpostavili, da jim je tuširanje sicer omogočeno, vendar le dvakrat tedensko, nekateri pa so celo povedali, da naj bi v skupni kopalnici iz odtokov lezli ščurki. DPM je zato predlagal, naj se pripornikom zagotovi pogostejša uporaba kopalnice, poleg tega pa naj se zamenjajo tudi dotrajane pene, ki služijo ležiščem. Living conditions in the detention section had not changed significantly since the last visit. The rooms are still (over)crowded, although suitably maintained in most cases. Since 13 July 2012, a part of the detention section (rooms 406 and 407 – nine detainees at the time of the NPM visit) had modified (open) regimes and these two rooms are unlocked part of the day. On the basis of the study on the gradual rearrangement of the detention section of 27 May 2012, the living quarters of the open regime were supposed to be rearranged. This idea was abandoned, because the relevant ministry did not approve the funds. The NPM suggested that possibilities of ensuring necessary financial means for drafting a study on opening up the entire detention section be examined. It was also ascertained that detainees in certain rooms received house rules and daily schedules a day before the NPM visit and were not previously available in their rooms. The NPM thus pointed out that internal regulations of the institution had to be available to prisoners at all times. Mattresses in certain rooms were in exceptionally poor condition (room 307). In some rooms, the NPM noticed torn towels which had holes in the middle, so detainees could clean the floor with them since they had run out of cleaning cloth. The detainees almost unanimously claimed that they were allowed to shower only twice a week, and some even said that cockroaches came from the drains in the common bathroom. The NPM suggested that detainees be enabled more frequent use of the bathroom and that worn out foam mattresses be replaced. V ZPKZ Maribor – Oddelek Murska Sobota je tako v pripornem kot obsojeniškem delu je pohištvo zelo dotrajano – predvsem železni okviri ležišč in železne omare, ki bi bile potrebne najmanj prebarvanja. DPM je v zvezi s sobo št. 8 (prehodna oziroma večnamenska soba) doslej že štirikrat, tj. po vsakem obisku oddelka, predlagal, naj se soba ustrezno uredi oziroma opremi, predlog pa je ponovil tudi tokrat. Soba je namreč (še vedno) opremljena z nepritrjenim pohištvom: mizo, stolom, omaro in železnim ogrodjem v obliki pograda, keramično straniščno školjko in umivalnikom ter stenskim radiatorjem, prav tako pa so v njej cevi napeljane nadometno in tudi okno je iz navadnega stekla. Nedvomno gre za okolje številnih priložnosti, še posebej, ko je v njem oseba, ki je nevarna, saj lahko ogroža sebe ali druge (kar se je doslej že dvakrat zgodilo, in sicer 17. 12. 2013 in 3. 11. 2014). Nadzor notranjosti tega prostora je treba izvajati pri neprestano odprtih vratih, kar ob navedenih razmerah predstavlja še dodaten problem – ne le zaradi varnosti ali nepotrebnega vznemirjanja drugih v slušnem polju, temveč tudi z vidika dostojanstva osebe, ki je pri tem na očeh prav vsem mimoidočim. V tleh jedilnice je še vedno razpoka, na katero je DPM že večkrat opozoril. O tem naj bi bila na kolegiju ZPKZ Maribor sprejeta odločitev, da se ponovno prouči vsa razpoložljiva dokumentacija in da se pristopi k sanaciji problema z zbiranjem ponudb – očitno pa doslej še ni prišlo do realizacije navedenega. Hišni red oddelka je bil iz slovenskega jezika preveden v angleščino, ne pa tudi v madžarščino. DPM je zato predlagal, da se prouči možnost prevoda še v italijanski, madžarski, hrvaški in nemški jezik (kot uradne jezike vseh štirih sosednjih držav, pri čemer prvi in drugi štejeta tudi za jezik italijanske oziroma madžarske narodnostne skupnosti), ustrezen romski jezik (kot jezik tretje skupnosti, o čemer Ustava Republike Slovenije govori kot o posebnih pravicah), pa tudi v francoski jezik (kot uradni jezik Sveta Evrope) in vsaj še v ruski jezik (Rusija kot edina preostala stalna članica Varnostnega sveta Združenih narodov, katere uradni jezik najverjetneje razume nezanemarljivo število zaprtih oseb v Republiki Sloveniji). 32 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 Furniture in the detention and prison sections of Murska Sobota Unit of Maribor Prison is worn, particularly metal bed frames and metal closets, which should at least be painted. Regarding room 8 (transitional or multi-purpose room), the NPM had already proposed four times, i.e. after every visit, that the room be suitably arranged or equipped; the proposal was repeated on this occasion. The room is (still) equipped with furniture which is not fixed: a table, chair, closet, metal frame for a bunk-bed, ceramic toilet bowl and sink, and a wall heater. The piping in the room is also temporarily installed and the window is made of ordinary glass. This is a hazardous environment, especially when a dangerous person who may be a threat to themselves or others is accommodated there (which has already happened twice, i.e. on 17 December 2013 and 3 November 2014). The supervision of this room must be constantly executed by the open door which – in these conditions – is an additional problem, not only for the safety or unnecessary disturbance of other people within hearing distance, but also from the aspect of the dignity of a person exposed to all passers-by. There is still a crack in the dining room floor which the NPM has noted several times. In this regard, the Council of Maribor Prison decided to re-examine all available documentation and to address the problem with a call for proposals, which has not been realised yet. The house rules were translated from Slovenian into English, but not into Hungarian. The NPM thus proposed the possibility of translating into Italian, Hungarian, Croatian, German (as official languages of all four neighbouring countries, whereby the first and second are the languages of the Italian and Hungarian minorities living in Slovenia), a suitable Roma language (as the language of the third community included in the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia under special rights), French (as the official language of the Council of Europe) and also at least into Russian (Russia, as the only remaining permanent member of the UN Security Council whose official language may be understood by a significant number of prisoners in the Republic of Slovenia).
