Report on the Performance of Activities of the National Preventive Mechanism for 2016 Moreover, the floor, where Department for At the Prison Hospital, smoking in rooms is a Internal Medicine, Department for Surgery, common occurrence and there are no Department for Lung Diseases and special separate rooms for smokers and nondepartment for women are located, contains smokers. As a result, the latter are exposed 15 rooms, only two out of which are nonto passive smoking. With most rooms being smoking. In addition, instead of two hours kept locked, out of a total of 15 rooms daily, prisoners are granted one hour of available in the Department for Internal outdoor time a day. Prisoners who come Medicine, Department for Surgery and from other penal institutions are in a Department for Lung Diseases as well as in particularly unfavourable position since, due the special department for women, smoking to lack of warm clothes, they are unwilling to is prohibited in only two of them. go for a walk in cold weather, which means that they are deprived of outdoor time and that their rights are thus directly violated. Therefore, it is necessary to perform adequate architectural modifications, at the same time taking into account security requirements, in order to ensure adequate conditions for treatment and accommodation of sick prisoners. Construction of an additional annex and walkway would allow the formation of a semi-open department for accommodation of prisoners who meet the requirements thereof. Use of cutlery, which is an issue that we dealt with in the Report for 2015, is still inconsistent. According to data obtained from COPSD, complete sets of cutlery, as prescribed by the Ordinance on Accommodation and Dietary Standards for Prisoners, is available to prisoners detained in low and medium security conditions and in prisons in Bjelovar, Dubrovnik, Gospić, Karlovac, Osijek, Požega, Sisak, Varaždin and Zadar. In some high security correctional institutions, for example in Prison Hospital, Glina State Prison and high security section of Lepoglava State Prison, prisoners are provided only with a spoon, whereas in Šibenik State and County Prisons they get a complete set of cutlery. In prisons in Pula and Zagreb, prisoners are only given a spoon, but they can also buy plastic cutlery at their own expense. Prisoners in Rijeka County Prison are given complete set of cutlery only when meat cuts are on the menu, whereas in Split County Prison, part of prisoners are provided with complete sets of cutlery while others are not. In Požega Reformatory, the complete cutlery sets are provided, whereas in Turopolje Reformatory, no knives are given. Such treatment, which is not founded upon individual security assessment, places persons deprived of their liberty in an unequal position, which is not good. Special measures for maintenance of order and security and disciplinary measures According to data obtained from COPSD, despite the continuing trend of declining prison population rates, last year, the number of implemented special measures for maintenance of order and security, has grown. Even though it does not necessarily imply something negative, this issue requires special attention, in particular due to inconsistent treatment and deficiencies of the legal framework, which is something that we have warned about in previous reports. 14
