dependent facility at that time. The Commission cannot understand why the inmate was not transferred to another Federal Land after this serious attack. According to the psychological service, discussions between a female psychologist and the inmate have been taking place at wide intervals for a certain amount of time. As emerges from the psychiatric expert report of 20 September 2011 on the inmate in question, it had to be presumed that the person concerned had a “mixed personality disorder with schizoid and above all dissocial characteristics, as well as in particular sexual sadism”. The “danger emanating from him targets women in particular”. The prison governor added to this finding that the inmate was still dangerous, something also made clear by his sexual fantasies. The psychiatric expert stated “that general segregation from female officers must be guaranteed”. Against this background, the Commission is convinced that it is not acceptable that the inmate in question was assigned a female psychologist to talk with. According to the officers accompanying the Commission, the inmate takes part neither in leisure activities nor in work or exercise with co-inmates. The Joint Commission considers the very long accommodation in solitary confinement to be objectionable since a change in the personality of the person concerned is not ruled out with such an incisive measure as prolonged solitary confinement.

He made sporadic use of the opportunities to spend his leisure time in a cell, also together with another inmate, cooking with him, going for exercise and doing sport. The inmate had also been subjected to repeated external assessments. The assessment of 29 August 2011 had formed the basis for the most recent continuation of the prison plan. Consequently, accommodation of the inmate in the normal prison regime had also not been justifiable at the present time. In particular, contact with women had entailed considerable risks because of the psychological and psychiatric assessments. The supervisory authority did not share the Commission’s assessment as to the female psychologist. Professional management of inmates and persons in preventive detention was characterised by providing the right kind of therapy. The therapeutic individual appointments with the female prison psychologist had so far been the only treatment measure which the inmate had agreed to undergo. The partition glass had been used during the talks, so that there could be no risk to the psychologist. The governor of Celle prison had nonetheless taken up the recommendation made by the Joint Commission, and had now entrusted a male psychologist with 39
