1.1 Obiski v zavodih za prestajanje kazni zapora in mladoletniškega zapora 1.1 Visit to prisons and juvenile prisons Delo zaprtih oseb Employment of prisoners Obisk ZPZK Koper, Oddelek Nova Gorica je pokazal, da oddelek zagotavlja delo osmim zaprtim osebam, dve osebi pa sta bili za delo nezmožni. Dvema obsojencema dela ni bilo mogoče zagotoviti, navkljub temu da sta izrazila željo po njegovem opravljanju. Vodstvo zavoda je zatrdilo, da so o tem že obvestili sodišče. DPM je pri zagotavljanju dela glede na število zaprtih oseb izrekel pohvalo. During the visit to Nova Gorica Unit of Koper Prison, it was established that eight prisoners were working and two persons were unable to work. It was not possible to find work for two prisoners, despite their express wish to work. The management stated that they had informed the court thereof. The NPM commended the management for providing work for prisoners as per their number. ZPKZ Ljubljana ne more zagotoviti dela vsem, ki si to želijo. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je v JGZ Golovec zaposlenih 23 obsojencev, na hišnih delih 22, v kuhinji pa običajno dela od 15 do 20 zapornikov. Obsojenci, ki delajo zunaj (na podlagi 12. člena ZIKS-1), so nameščeni v Odprtem oddelku Ig. Od pripornikov so bili v času obiska DPM zaposleni le štirje (vsi na hišnih delih). DPM je ugotovil, da bi moral tako zavod kot UIKS vložiti več napora pri iskanju možnosti za izboljšanje stanja na tem področju. UIKS je v odzivnem poročilu sporočila, da si zavod prizadeva pri iskanju novih delovnih mest, vendar je pri tem omejen s potrebami hišnih del in potrebami na JGZ Golovec. Ljubljana Prison cannot provide work for all prisoners who want to work. It was established that 23 prisoners were employed at the public utility institute, JGZ Golovec; 22 were doing house work and 15 to 20 prisoners were usually working in the kitchen. Prisoners working outside the prison (on the basis of Article 12 of the ZIKS-1) were accommodated at Ig Open Unit. Only four detainees (doing house work) were working at the time of the NPM visit. The NPM ascertained that the institution and the Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia should make more effort to improve the situation in this field. In its response report, the Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia replied that it was making every effort to find new jobs, but was limited to the needs of house works and JGZ Golovec. Ob obisku ZKZP Ljubljana – Odprti oddelek Ig je bilo delo zagotovljeno trem obsojencem na zunanjih deloviščih, dvema v matičnem zavodu za prestajanje kazni zapora Ljubljana (v kuhinji in v mizarski delavnici) in trem na hišnih delih, poleg tega pa so bile za dva obsojenca v času obiska DPM aktivnosti za njuno zaposlitev v zaključni fazi. Dela tako ni bilo mogoče zagotoviti le enemu obsojencu, na oddelku pa so bili v tem času še pet obsojencev z omejenimi sposobnostmi za delo in dva upokojenca. DPM je izrekel pohvalo in predlagal, da se takemu trendu sledi tudi v prihodnje. Vendar pa je bilo ob obisku tudi ugotovljeno, da delavnica v objektu poleg Odprtega oddelka Ig ne obratuje več, posledično pa obsojencem ni več mogoče zagotoviti dela v njej. Ob tem je DPM predlagal, da se glede na velikost objekta in njegov dosedanji namen proučijo možnosti, da bi se le-ta oddal novemu najemniku, ki bi zagotavljal delo obsojencem, oziroma da se proučijo možnosti uporabe objekta za potrebe JZG in s tem zaposlitve inštruktorja. Odzivno poročilo UIKS se je dotaknilo tudi te dileme – zapisali so, da se bodo trudili najti novega najemnika. V ZPKZ Ig je bilo v času obiska DPM zaposlenih 29 obsojenk (19 v delavnici JGZ Golovec, šest v kuhinji, dve v pralnici in dve na zunanjih deloviščih), poleg tega jih je šest zaposlenih zunaj zavoda po 12. členu ZIKS-1. Ob obisku je bilo ugotovljeno, da zavod ne zagotavlja dela nobeni pripornici. Število zaposlenih (obsojenk) se je od prejšnjega obiska DPM sicer povečalo, vendar se je hkrati bistveno povečalo tudi število obsojenk, zato je DPM predlagal, da zavod glede na povečano število obsojenk vloži več napora v iskanje zaposlitve za vse obsojenke. DPM je prosil tudi za pojasnilo, zakaj je morala ena od obsojenk od nagrade za opravljeno delo plačati davek, ki ga druge zaposlene obsojenke niso plačale, poleg tega pa je predlagal, da zavod preuči možnosti zaposlitve dodatne osebe v pralnici. UIKS je odgovorila, da si zavod prek vodstva ves čas prizadeva zagotoviti čim več dela za zaprte osebe in na to opozarja JGZ Golovec. V zvezi z obračunanim davkom je UIKS sporočila, da je prišlo do računalniške napake in da bo obsojenki izplačana razlika vrnjena, glede pralnice pa naj bi zavod zmogljivost že povečal do njenega maksimuma. V ZPKZ Maribor – Odprti oddelek Rogoza je v času obiska DPM 12 obsojencev delalo v JGZ Kozjak in 11 na hišnih delih. Pet obsojencev dela še ni opravljalo zaradi nedavnega prihoda in so bili še v fazi zaposlovanja, dva pa sta bila za delo nesposobna. V JGZ Rinka, ki je del ZPMZ in KZ Celje, je bilo v času obiska zaposlenih le 31 oseb, od tega so trije obsojenci prestajali kazen po 12. členu ZIKS-1. DPM je ugotovil, da je število zaposlenih pripornikov upadlo, in sicer je od predzadnjega obiska DPM, ko je bilo od 28 pripornikov zaposlenih kar osem, ob zadnjem obisku DPM to število, kljub porastu števila pripornikov (44), upadlo na komaj štiri zaposlene pripornike. Glede na število obsojencev (ob obisku DPM 81) očitno upada tudi odstotek zaposlenih med obsojenci – to problematiko je DPM v svojem poročilu izrecno izpostavilo. Na dan tokratnega obiska DPM je od zaprtih oseb v ZPKZ Maribor – Oddelek Murska Sobota delalo šest obsojencev. V delavnici ni delal nihče, ker iz JGZ Kozjak ni bilo nobenega naročila. Delo tako ni bilo zagotovljeno vsem obsojencem, ki bi želeli delati in so za delo sposobni, niti ne nobenemu priporniku ali osebi na prestajanju uklonilnega zapora. DPM je v tem delu le povzel, da so bile ravno pritožbe čez pomanjkanje dela, rekreacijo in prostočasne aktivnosti najštevilčnejše in da takšne razmere vodijo v malodušje, še posebej pri ljudeh, ki so bili na prostosti vajeni rednega dela. 34 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 During the visit to Ig Open Section of Ljubljana Prison, work was provided for three prisoners at external sites, two in the main Ljubljana Prison (in the kitchen and carpenter’s workshop); three were doing house work, and activities employing two prisoners were being finalised at the time of the NPM visit. Thus work could not be provided for one prisoner; at the time, five prisoners with limited capacity to work and two retired prisoners were present in the unit. The NPM commended such trends and proposed that they continue. However, it was also established that the workshop next to Ig Open Unit is no longer working, so prisoners cannot work there. The NPM suggested that, relating to the size of the facility and its purpose, the possibility of letting the workshop to a new lessee should be examined to provide work for the prisoners, or to study the option of using the facility for JZG needs and employing an instructor. The response report of the Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia stated that efforts would be made to find a new lessee. At the time of the NPM visit, 29 female prisoners were employed in Ig Prison (19 in the workshop of JGZ Golovec, six in the kitchen, two in the laundry room and two at external sites); furthermore, six were working outside the prison as per Article 12 of the ZIKS-1. It was established at the visit that the prison did not provide work for any female detainees. Since the last NPM visit, the number of employed female prisoners had increased, but the number of female prisoners also increased, which is why the NPM proposed that the institution make more effort to provide jobs for all female prisoners. The NPM also requested clarification of the fact that a female prisoner had to pay tax on pay for work, which other prisoners did not pay, and it also proposed that the prison consider employing an additional person in the laundry room. The Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia replied that the prison management constantly strove to provide more work for prisoners and also pointed that out to JGZ Golovec. Relating to the calculated tax, the Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia stated that a computer error had occurred and that the difference would be paid to the relevant female prisoner. As per the laundry room, the prison had already reached its maximum capacity. Some 12 prisoners from Rogoza Open Unit of Maribor Prison were working at JGZ Kozjak and 11 were involved in house work during the NPM visit. Five prisoners were not working due to their recent admission and were in the early employment phase, while two were unfit to work. Only 31 prisoners were working at JGZ Rinka, which is part of Celje Prison and Juvenile Prison at the time of the visit, of which three were serving their sentence under Article 12 of the ZIKS-1. The NPM established that the number of employed prisoners dropped, i.e. in spite of the increase in the number of prisoners (44) since the last visit, the number of employed prisoners had dropped to four since the penultimate NPM visit, when eight were working from a total of 28. As per the number of prisoners (81 during the NPM visit), the percentage of employed prisoners was also obviously dropping; this issue was explicitly highlighted in the NPM report. Six prisoners were working on the day of the NPM visit to Murska Sobota Open Unit of Maribor Prison. Nobody was working in the workshop, because JGZ Kozjak had submitted no orders. Work was thus not provided for all prisoners who wanted it, and were able to work nor for detainees or persons serving imprisonment for the non-payment of fines. In this part, the NPM merely summarised that complaints about the lack of work, recreation and free-time activities were most frequent and that such conditions lead to despondency, particularly among people who were used to regular work when at liberty.
