7. Establishments visited by the National Preventive Mechanism in 2010
Table 1 below contains a review of all establishments visited by the National
Preventive Mechanism, including the structure and number of visits between 2008 and
2010. It needs to be noted, though, that the total of visits in 2008 and 2009 may be
different from the figures included in previous annual reports on the National
Preventive Mechanism (of 2008 and of 2009). The abovementioned differences result
from changes in the statistical presentation of some visits:
- since 2010 NPM statistics have had a separate category of: juvenile detention
centres and juvenile shelters operating jointly (under the same address and with the
same administration). In 2008 and 2009, visits to such institutions were treated as two
separate categories (juvenile detention centre, juvenile shelter);
- since 2010 a visit to a penitentiary establishment and its separate external
ward have been treated as one. In 2008 and 2009, as in the previous case, such visits
were recorded in two separate categories.
For the needs of this publication, the number of establishments in Table 1 in
2008 and 2009 has been unified, taking into account the abovementioned changes.
However, two categories of establishments not visited by NPM in 2010 are not
included therein, namely, Military Custodial Establishment (1 visit in 2008) and
Military Disciplinary Detention Centres (2008 – 2 visits, 2009 – 1 visit).
