needs. Juveniles who are illiterate or have cognitive or learning difficulties should have the right to special education. Principle 41 Every detention facility should provide access to a library that is adequately stocked with both instructional and recreational books and periodicals suitable for the juveniles, who should be encouraged and enabled to make full use of it. Principle 42 Every juvenile should have the right to receive vocational training in occupations likely to prepare him or her for future employment. Based on the findings pursuant to the activities carried out by the National Preventive Mechanism representatives, it should be noted that in most establishments, the right of the juveniles to education is respected. The establishments provide education at the level of grammar school and/or primary school. In addition, they have a rich offer of the workshop activities (as part of education at vocational school or vocational courses) preparing the juveniles for practising a given profession. However, it should be pointed out that the NMP representatives found the violation of the right to education in JDC in Białystok. The juveniles staying in the transition rooms (from 1 to 4 months) did not have the opportunity to fulfil their schooling obligation. On the other hand, the records of JDC in Falenica lacked the information on the conducted interactions and fulfilling the schooling obligation, which raised the visiting persons' doubts about whether the right of the juveniles staying in the transition rooms was respected in that regard. The director of JDC in Falenica informed that he obliged the educational staff to record interactions with respect to the juveniles, inter alia, fulfilling the compulsory schooling obligation. The director of JDC in Białystok denied that the violations in that respect had taken place – he stated that the juveniles staying in the transition room fulfilled the schooling obligation. i) Right to religious practices Recommendations CM/Rec(2008)11 of the Committee of Ministers to the Member States on the European Rules for juvenile offenders subject to sanctions or measures.
