must be clearly defined. In order to avoid legal uncertainty among inmates and staff, it must be clear which measures were concerned, so that the statutory foundation on which the measure is based is also comprehensible where appropriate. Furthermore, careful documentation of the use of the cells should be ensured since it has differing prerequisites, and hence must be justified by different means. The Commission found when looking through the files that the forms for ordering security measures do not distinguish between segregation in accordance with section 88 subsection (2) no. 3 of the Prison Act and solitary confinement in accordance with section 89 subsection (1) of the same Act. The prison rules for the various groups of inmates are only available in German. They should be available in the languages most commonly spoken by the inmates. 5.1.9 Goldlauter prison The Joint Commission visited Goldlauter prison on 8 November 2012. Goldlauter prison is responsible for the execution of criminal sentences of up to one year and six months, remand detention on adult, juvenile and young persons and detention pending removal. It has a capacity of 298 places in closed detention, broken down into 150 single and 148 shared cells. There are an additional 22 open detention places available. The facility was occupied with 296 inmates at the time of the inspection visit, 16 of whom were in the work release building and 24 in the semi-open detention building. Three inmates were in detention pending removal, and 120 were in remand detention. The Joint Commission particularly inspected the department for criminal convicts, for remand detainees, for persons detained pending removal, the open and semi-open prison departments, the admissions area, the “anti-rampage cells” with camera monitoring, the specially-secured cell containing no dangerous objects and the fixation facility. It held meetings with the prison governor and with officers of the general prison service as well as of the special service. The Commission also spoke with the three inmates who were accommodated in the windowless cells at the time of the visit, including a person detained pending removal, and six more remand detainees and criminal convicts, some of whom were accommodated in shared cells. Since the visit took place very late in the year, no statement from the Thuringian Ministry of Justice had yet been received by the editorial deadline of this report. 61
