1.1 Obiski v zavodih za prestajanje kazni zapora in mladoletniškega zapora 1.1 Visit to prisons and juvenile prisons Ob zadnjem obisku ZPMZ in KZ Celje je bilo sistemiziranih 57 delovnih mest pravosodnih policistov, eno ni bilo zasedeno. Od takrat se je 13 pravosodnih policistov upokojilo, vendar se njihova odsotnost praviloma ni nadomestila. Tako je bilo ob obisku DPM v letu 2014 zaposlenih 49 pravosodnih policistov, od tega tri pravosodne policistke. Hkrati se je povečalo število zaprtih oseb z 89 (ob zadnjem obisku) na 122 (ob tem obisku DPM). Kljub temu pa je upadlo število nadur z 8.409 v letu 2012 na 3.419 v letu 2013. DPM je v zvezi s tem prosil, da zavod sporoči, zakaj je kljub očitnemu zmanjšanju števila zaposlenih pravosodnih policistov prišlo do upada števila nadur v letu 2013. DPM je tudi predlagal, da UIKS ponovno prouči ustreznost sistematizacije in zasedenosti delovnih mest pravosodnih policistov. Poleg vodje oddelka sta zasedeni dve delovni mesti svetovalca pedagoga (eden od njiju za določen čas), dve delovni mesti diplomiranih medicinskih sester, eno delovno mesto višjega svetovalca za sprejem, odpust in izobraževanje obsojencev, eno delovno mesto višjega svetovalca – socialni delavec in tri delovna mesta svetovalec pedagog ter eno višji svetovalec psiholog. Skupaj je torej zaposlenih 11 vzgojnih delavcev, od teh eden za določen čas. Problem se pojavlja, ker so štirje od njih zaradi zdravstvenih omejitev zaposleni le polovični delovni čas, zavod pa ne razpolaga z glavno pisarno, kar direktorica zavoda šteje kot pomanjkljivost. DPM je tako ugotovil, da so delovna mesta v vzgojni službi glede na večje število delavcev, ki delajo polovični delovni čas, še slabše zasedena kot ob zadnjem obisku DPM. Glede na povečano število zaprtih oseb je DPM predlagal, da UIKS ponovno preuči ustreznost sistemizacije in zasedenosti delovnih mest v vzgojni službi zavoda ter poda oceno, ali je s sedanjo zasedbo delovnih mest še mogoče zadovoljivo obvladovati potrebe vseh zaprtih oseb. Ob obisku ZPKZ Maribor – Oddelek Murska Sobota je bilo ob obisku DPM pojasnjeno, da je sistemiziranih 26 delovnih mest, dejansko zaposlenih pa je 24 oseb. Pri tem so neuniformirani vodja oddelka, pedagog in inštruktor – kuhar, v uniformi pa so poveljnik, 13 pravosodnih policistov in ena pravosodna policistka, pet operativnih vodij izmen in referentka izvr��evanja kazni. Predvideni ukrepi UIKS iz odzivnega poročila naj bi bili realizirani, bi pa navkljub temu na oddelku potrebovali vsaj še enega strokovnega delavca, saj sam pedagog vselej pokriva okoli 40 oseb, medtem ko je v drugih zavodih oziroma oddelkih to število precej manjše. Uporaba strožjih ukrepov Ob obisku ZPZK Koper – Nova Gorica DPM ni ugotovil, da bi se strožji ukrepi pretirano uporabljali. Sogovornik je pojasnil, da v letu 2014 v času našega obiska na oddelku niso zabeležili nobene namestitve po 206. členu in 98.a členu ZIKS-1. Prav tako je poudaril, da v letih 2013 in 2014 niso zabeležili nobenega disciplinskega postopka, niti namestitve po 236. členu ZIKS-1. V ZPKZ Ljubljana na podlagi danih podatkov in razgovorov z zaprtimi osebami DPM ni ugotovil pretirane uporabe sile. Zavod je pojasnil, da so bila v letu 2013 16-krat uporabljena prisilna sredstva. Za vsako uporabljeno prisilno sredstvo je bila izdelana ocena o upravičenosti, nobeden od ukrepov pa ni bil neupravičen. Po 236. členu ZIKS-1 (odstranitev v posebni prostor) je bilo v letu 2013 v posebni prostor nameščenih pet oseb. V vseh primerih so bile izdane odločbe. Prostor je brez ugotovljenih pomanjkljivosti. Podatkov o drugih izrednih dogodkih v zavodu v letu 2013 DPM ni prejel. V istem letu je bilo v zavodu podanih 18 predlogov za disciplinsko kaznovanje pripornikov. Zoper obsojence je bil sprožen in končan disciplinski postopek. Le v dveh primerih sankcija ni bila izvršena (v enem zaradi zdravnikovega mnenja in v drugem zaradi prestane kazni). V dveh primerih je bil postopek ustavljen – v enem, ker je bil obsojenec odpuščen. UIKS je opozorila, da zavod ni prejel odziva sodišča na disciplinske predloge in da na neodzivanje do zdaj še ni ukrepal. DPM med obiskom ZPKZ Ljubljana – Odprti oddelek Ig ni prejel nobenih navedb o uporabi prisilnih ukrepov. Ob obisku ZPKZ Ig DPM na podlagi danih podatkov in informacij od zaprtih oseb ponovno ni ugotovil prekomerne uporabe prisilnih sredstev, o čemer priča tudi podatek, da jih v letih 2013 in 2014 (do dneva nadzora) niso uporabili. Zavod tudi ne beleži nobene namestitve po 236. členu, 206. členu in 98.a členu ZIKS-1 in nobenega samomora oziroma poskusa samomora, v letu 2014 pa je bil evidentiran en klasičen pobeg, vendar se je obsojenka sama vrnila. 42 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 Some 57 judicial police officers were employed in Celje Prison and Juvenile Prison at the time of the visit; one position was not occupied. Thirteen judicial police officers have retired since then and most of their positions have not been occupied. Thus, 49 judicial police officers, of whom three were women, were employed at the time of the NPM visit in 2014. However, the number of prisoners increased from 89 (at the last visit) to 122 (on the occasion of the last visit). Nevertheless, the number of overtime hours dropped from 8,409 in 2012 to 3,419 in 2013. The NPM requested an explanation for the drop in overtime in 2013 in spite of the obvious reduction in the number of officers. The NPM also suggested that the Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia again examine the suitability of systemising and occupying judicial police positions. In addition to the head of the unit, there were two adviser/ educators (one of whom was employed for a fixed period), two university graduate nurses, one senior adviser for admissions, release and education of prisoners, one senior adviser/social worker, three adviser/educators and one senior adviser/psychologist, which is a total of 11 employed education workers, of whom one was employed for a fixed period. A problem occurred because four of them were only employed part-time due to medical constraints, and the prison had no main office, which the director of the prison considered a deficiency. The NPM thus determined that positions in the education service relative to the large number of people working part-time were even less sufficiently utilised than on the occasion of the NPM previous visit. Regarding the increased number of prisoners, the NPM proposed that the Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia re-examine the suitability of the systemisation and occupancy of positions in the education service of the prison and provide an assessment of whether the current occupancy of posts still enabled the satisfactory management of all prisoners’ needs. The NPM learned that 26 positions were systemised in Murska Sobota Unit of Maribor Prison and 24 persons were actually employed; these include the non-uniform head of the unit, an educator and instructor/cook, and a commander, 14 judicial police officers, of whom one is female, five operational shift officers and an enforcement clerk. The anticipated measures in the response report of the Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia were supposedly realised; nevertheless, at least one additional expert worker is needed, since one educator works with about 40 people, while this number in other prisons or units is significantly lower. Application of stricter measures When visiting Nova Gorica Unit of Koper Prison, the NPM did not determine any excessive use of stricter measures. Our discussion partner explained that no accommodations as per Articles 206 and 98.a of the ZIKS-1 had been recorded in 2014 at the time of our visit. Furthermore, it was stressed that no disciplinary procedures or accommodations as per Article 236 of the ZIKS-1 had been recorded in 2013 or 2014. On the basis of data provided and interviews with prisoners, the NPM did not establish any excessive use of force in Ljubljana Prison. The management explained that coercive measures had been used sixteen times in 2013. An assessment of justifiability was prepared for each coercive measure used and none of the measures was unjustified. According to Article 236 of the ZIKS-1 (removal to a special room), five persons were accommodated in special rooms in 2013. Decisions on the removal to a special room were issued in all cases. No deficiencies were discovered in the special room. The NPM did not receive any other data on extraordinary events in the prison in 2013. The management received 18 proposals for disciplinary proceedings against detainees in the same year. Disciplinary proceedings were initiated and completed against prisoners. Sanctions were not implemented only in two cases (in one case due to a physician’s opinion and in the second case due to the completion of the sentence). Proceedings were terminated in two cases; in one case because of the release of the prisoner. The Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia pointed out that the prison had not received a court response to disciplinary proposals and had not taken action relating to the lack of response. When visiting Ig Open Unit of Ljubljana Prison, the NPM did not receive any information about the use of coercive measures. On the basis of data provided and information from prisoners, the NPM did not establish any excessive use of coercive measures in Ig Prison, further proof of which is the information that coercive measures were not used in 2013 or 2014 (up to the day of the visit). The prison also did not record any accommodations as per Articles 236, 206 and 98.a of the ZIKS-1 and no suicides or attempted suicides; one escape was recorded in 2014, but the female prisoner returned of her own free will.
