CAT/C/AUT/CO/6 the State party’s delegation to provide information on the measures envisaged in response to the recent findings of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment in the area of health care in prisons,1 no concrete information has been received yet on this subject, in particular with regard to medical confidentiality in detention facilities, the practice of involving prison officers in the performance of health-care duties and the need to improve medical screenings on admission (arts. 11 and 16). 29. The State party should: (a) Provide adequate medical and mental health care for all persons deprived of their liberty, especially those with mental health conditions; (b) Ensure that all instances of ill-treatment or neglect are promptly and impartially investigated and that, if substantiated, the perpetrators are prosecuted and punished with appropriate sanctions; (c) Ensure comprehensive medical screenings on admission and guarantee the privacy and confidentiality of medical information. Prison officers should not be present during medical examinations of persons, save at the request of the medical doctor. Electrical discharge weapons 30. While appreciating the information provided by the State party on the strict regulations governing the use of electrical discharge weapons (tasers) by law enforcement officers, the Committee remains concerned about the use of such weapons in prison settings (arts. 11 and 16). 31. The Committee is of the view that the use of electrical discharge weapons should be strictly subject to the principles of necessity and proportionality and should be inadmissible in prisons, as part of the equipment of custodial staff in prisons, or any other place of deprivation of liberty. Deaths in custody 32. The Committee appreciates the measures adopted by the State party to improve suicide prevention in prisons. Nevertheless, it regrets the lack of full information on suicides and other sudden deaths in detention facilities during the period under review (art. 11). 33. The State party should provide the Committee with detailed information on cases of death in custody and the causes of those deaths. It should also take measures to ensure that all instances of death in custody are promptly and impartially investigated by an independent body. Juvenile justice 34. The Committee is concerned about reports indicating shortcomings in the State party’s juvenile justice system, which are reflected in the recommendations made by the interdisciplinary task force on the pretrial detention of juveniles established by the Ministry of Justice in response to an incident of sexual abuse of a 15-year-old juvenile in pretrial detention in 2013.
