In one of the security cells which were inspected, which was occupied by an inmate of foreign nationality at the time of the visit, there was a slogan with racist content on the wall. It should be particularly ensured when the cell is handed over that comments or drawings with an anti-constitutional content or content which is likely to offend or provoke specific groups of inmates are removed. Reaction: The cell in question had now been re-decorated. Cells would be subject to even more intensive checks before being handed over in future. It was not possible to inform the Joint Commission of the number of inmates with regard to whom special security measures were ordered on the day of the visit. One inmate was accommodated in the camera-monitored cell although no camera monitoring had been ordered or indeed took place. Cells which had camera monitoring facilities should only be used if such monitoring has been ordered. Otherwise, the inmate is unable to ascertain whether or not he/she is actually being monitored by the camera and must therefore constantly assume that he/she is being monitored. Reaction: Kassel I prison shared the reservations of the Joint Commission that a cell which had camera monitoring facilities should only be used if this has indeed been ordered, and would take this into account. There is no out-of-cell time in Kassel I prison. It was comprehensible that general out-of-cell time entailed security risks because of the construction. Constructional circumstances may however not be used as an argument to continuously deny inmates from this important facility. Furthermore, inmates were already locked up from 3:50 p.m. from Friday to Sunday. Resocialisation of inmates can ultimately only be successful if they are offered a social learning environment while deprived of liberty. This prerequisite is not satisfied in the case of locking up inmates together. Reaction: The term “out-of-cell time” meant in usage at Kassel I prison the opening of a cell for special reasons. Recreation and sport groups took place from Monday to Thursday for two hours each, and there were additional sports offered on Saturdays. Furthermore, there was the possibility of locking up inmates together. In line with the post occupation plan, the prison only had night-shift strength from 4:00 p.m. onwards on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and on holidays which fell on weekdays, so that the locking up of the inmates from 3:45 p.m. was indispensable on these days. Modern prison regimes should be implemented in care and treatment groups in detention in accommodation groups in order to offer inmates a social learning environment. 51
