1.1 Obiski v zavodih za prestajanje kazni zapora in mladoletniškega zapora 1.1 Visit to prisons and juvenile prisons Informacije o kadrovskih zadevah, pravosodnih policistih in vzgojni službi Information on staff management, judicial police officers and education service Stanje v zvezi s kadrovsko zasedbo v ZPKZ Koper – Oddelek Nova Gorica se v primerjavi s prejšnjim obiskom ni spremenilo in je naslednje: vodja oddelka, socialna delavka, 16 pravosodnih policistov in en inštruktor. The staffing situation in Nova Gorica Unit of Koper Prison had not changed in comparison to the previous visit and included the head of the unit, a social worker, 16 judicial police officers and one instructor. Za delo z obsojenci ZPKZ Ljubljana skrbijo štirje pedagogi in ena socialna delavka, za delo s priporniki pa dva pedagoga in en psiholog. V Zavodu primanjkuje tudi kadra (izostanek dveh strokovnih delavcev), ki bi vodil športne aktivnosti, je pa zavod zaposlil še tretjega kuharja in s tem izboljšal stanje v kuhinji. Ker si obsojenci krajšajo čas z gledanjem televizije in igranjem računalniških iger, je DPM podal mnenje, da takšna izraba časa, ki ga imajo obsojenci, ki niso zaposleni, ne pripomore k pridobitvi delovnih navad in resocializaciji, temveč prav nasprotno. DPM je tudi predlagal, da UIKS poda oceno o ustreznosti sedanje kadrovske zasedbe na oddelku za vzgojo – da torej oceni, ali je vzgojna služba v sedanji zasedbi sposobna v celoti poskrbeti za doseganje teh ciljev ali bi morda zavod na tem področju potreboval kadrovske okrepitve. DPM je bilo tudi predstavljeno, da se delavci vzgojne službe slabo odzivajo na prošnje obsojencev po razgovorih, v priporu pa naj se skoraj ne bi odzivali, zato je UIKS prosil za podatek, ali je vzgojna služba lani in letos prejela kakšno pritožbo v zvezi z delom vzgojne službe zavoda, in če – v koliko primerih so bile utemeljene. Pripomb na delo pravosodnih policistov ni bilo. UIKS je odgovorila, da razgovori s posamezniki potekajo redno in pravočasno, da zaradi velike količine administrativnega dela ni mogoče vedno zagotoviti takojšnjega odziva na pripombe oziroma pritožbe, da pa v letu 2014 pritožb niso dobili. Glede kadrovske zasedenosti v ZKPZ Ljubljana – Odprti oddelek Ig do večjih sprememb ni prišlo oziroma je bilo ob tokratnem obisku DPM ugotovljeno, da je prejšnja pedagoginja v septembru 2013 postala vodja oddelka. Glede na konstantno večjo zasedenost oddelka, je DPM predlagal, da se proučijo možnosti, da bi bila pedagoginja na delo na Odprtem oddelku Ig razporejena za polni delovni čas in ne le polovični. Oddelek še vedno nima ločenih sanitarij za zaposlene (moški/ženske), prav tako zaposlenim ni omogočeno tuširanje, na kar je kot pomanjkljivost DPM opozoril že ob vseh dosedanjih obiskih (v letih 2010, 2011 in 2012). UIKS je pojasnila, da predlogu DPM ni mogoče ugoditi zaradi pomanjkanja finančnih sredstev. V ZPKZ Ig je sistemiziranih 27 delovnih mest pravosodnih policistov in prav vsa mesta so bila v času obiska DPM tudi zasedena. Število naj bi se v kratkem povečalo. DPM tudi tokrat ni slišal nobene pritožbe na delo in odnos pravosodnih policistov oziroma smo ponovno slišali le pohvale. DPM je zato predlagal, da pravosodne policistke in policisti takšen nivo komunikacije z zaprtimi osebami ohranijo tudi v prihodnje. Pojasnjeno je bilo tudi, da se bo število zaposlenih z upokojitvijo vodje oddelka za vzgojo in delo v zelo kratkem času še zmanjšalo, je pa Vlada RS sicer odobrila dve nadomestni zaposlitvi in še eno dodatno zaposlitev. DPM zato pričakuje, da bodo odobrene zaposlitve s strani Vlade RS v čim krajšem času realizirane. UIKS je v odzivnem poročilu zapisala, da so bili v zavod premeščeni štirje pravosodni policisti, postopek javnega natečaja z dvema kandidatkama za pravosodni policistki pa je še v teku. V zvezi z zaposlitvami v vzgojni službi je UIKS pojasnila, da je bil v mesecu juniju 2014 izveden javni natečaj za delovno mesto pedagog in da bo postopek predvidoma zaključen v nadaljnjih mesecih. Na oddelku ZPKZ Maribor – Odprti oddelek Rogoza med zaposlene štejejo: vodjo oddelka in svetovalko pedagoginjo, pet pravosodnih policistov, referentko izvrševanja kazni (sistemizirana je v ZPKZ Maribor, dejansko pa dela v OO Rogoza, pri čemer opravi tudi administrativna dela) in inštruktorja kuharja. Vodstvo oddelka je v zvezi z odzivnim poročilom URSIKS iz leta 2013 povedalo, da so bili aneksi k pogodbam o zaposlitvi izdani, vendar le za nadomeščanje v času dopustov, da je oddelek sicer formalno dobil psihologinjo, vendar je ta že od vsega začetka na porodniški in tu dejansko sploh še ni delala, in da operativni vodja nima več statusa invalidnosti. DPM je zato zaprosil za pojasnilo URSIKS o trenutni kadrovski situaciji, na kar je UIKS v odzivnem sporočilu odgovorila, da pomanjkanje osebja rešujejo z zagotovljenimi finančnimi sredstvi, oddelek pa je začel tudi z izvedbo javnega natečaja za zasedbo strokovnega delovnega mesta. 40 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 Four educators and one social worker worked with prisoners in Ljubljana Prison, and two educators and one psychologist worked with detainees. The prison lacked sufficient staff (absence of two expert workers) for sports activities; however, the prison had employed a third cook and thus improved the situation in the kitchen. Since prisoners spent their time watching television and playing computer games, the NPM stated that such utilisation of prisoners’ time who were not employed failed to contribute to acquiring work habits and re-socialisation, and had the contrary effect. The NPM also proposed that the Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia provide an assessment of the suitability of the current staffing situation in the education service, i.e. to evaluate if the current composition of the education service fully enables the attainment of its objectives, or are more staff needed. The NPM was also informed that the response of workers in the education service to prisoners’ requests for consulting services was poor, and they barely responded in the detention section. The Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia was thus requested to provide information on whether the education service had received any complaints about their work in 2013 and 2014, and if so, in how many cases were justified. There were no complaints about the work of the judicial police officers. The Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia responded that consultations with individuals were regular and timely and that it was impossible to respond immediately to comments and complaints, due to the great quanty of administrative work, but they had not received any complaints in 2014. The staffing situation in Ig Open Unit of Ljubljana Prison had not changed significantly. It was established upon the NPM visit that the former educator had become the head of the service in September 2013. Relating to the constantly rising occupancy of the unit, the NPM suggested examining possibilities that an educator would be employed full time in Ig Open Unit and not only part time. The unit still lacked separate sanitary facilities for staff (men and women). The staff were also not able to take showers, which the NPM has pointed out on all visits (in 2010, 2011 and 2012). The Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia explained that the NPM’s proposal could not be acted on due to the lack of funds. Some 27 systemic work places of judicial police officers were foreseen in Ig Prison and all positions were occupied during the NPM visit. The number was to be increased soon. The NPM received no complaints about the work or attitude of judicial police officers; in fact, commendations were noted again. The NPM suggested that the judicial police officers continue to maintain this level of communication with prisoners. It was explained that the number of staff would soon be further reduced with the retirement of the head of the education service; however, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia has approved two replacements and one additional post. The NPM expects that posts approved by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia be promptly filled. In its response report, the Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia stated that four judicial police officers had been transferred to prison, and the public call for two female judicial police officers was still underway. Regarding employment in the education service, the Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia explained that a public call for an educator had been implemented in June 2014 and the procedure would be completed in the following months. The staff at Rogoza Open Unit of Maribor Prison include the head of the unit, adviser/educator, five judicial police officers, enforcement clerk (employed at Maribor Prison but working in Rogoza Open Unit, whereby she also does administrative work) and instructor/cook. Relating to the 2013 response report of the Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia, the management stated that annexes to employment contracts had been issued, but only for substitutions during annual leave. The unit was formally appointed a psychologist, but she was on maternity leave since the beginning and had not worked there at all, and the operations manager no longer had disability status. The NPM then inquired about the current staff situation at the Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia and received the reply in the response report that the lack of staff was being resolved with the ensured financial means and a public call had been published for the position of an expert employee.
