stay outside of the room. Locking up during the day should by no means be implemented in common practice exclusively because of staff shortages. This was however not in fact the case in Lippstadt. The assessment of the Joint Commission also concurs overall with the statement of the supervisory authority with regard to the staff shortages and to the inadequate therapy that was on offer. The Commission presumes that a remedy will be found for this situation as soon as possible. In order to correct the impression created, the Joint Commission would like to add to the comment by the supervisory authority as to the positive selection of social therapy that an inmate is taken into a social therapy facility as a matter of principle if a disturbance leading to delinquency appears to be in need of treatment, he or she is able to undergo treatment and the treatment available in normal prisons does not appear to be adequate because of the seriousness of the disorder. 5.6.2 Parsberg II district hospital The Joint Commission visited Parsberg II district hospital on 24 November 2011.29 A forensic-psychiatric expert accompanied the Joint Commission. It was not possible to include the reaction of the Bavarian Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, Families and Women in the visit report of the Joint Commission by the editorial deadline of the Annual Report 2010/2011 because of the late visit date. The State Ministry made a comprehensive statement on the recommendations of the Joint Commission in 2012. The visit report of the Joint Commission from 2011 was already printed in the Annual Report 2010/2011. It is put forward once again below for a better understanding of the entire incident. The Commission furthermore received a new letter from the supervisory authority in September 2012 informing it of the current state of implementation of the recommendations. Recommendations of the Joint Commission and the reaction of the Bavarian Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, Families and Women The Joint Commission complained of the inadequate resources available to the specialist psychotherapeutic-psychological service of Parsberg II district hospital. The personnel documents showed four full-time posts for psychologists and educationalists. However, only one of these positions was occupied, namely with two part-time psychologists: A half-time post was occupied with a qualified psychologist who was licensed as a psychological psychotherapist and who however exclusively carried out test diagnoses, according to the medical director.
