3. Prisons and security detention Analysis of 100 cases involving security detention On the occasion of 10 years of existence of the measure, we have conducted an analysis of court decisions whereby security detention was imposed on inmates who are/have previously been placed in the relevant institutions. This involved 100 persons in total. We aimed to get a picture of the current situation and establish the ratio between direct imposition and requalification from forensic treatment. ―― As of 1 January 2018, there were 79 inmates in detention, mostly men. Another 48 were expected to start the detention since the measure was to follow after they completed their prison sentence. ―― Security detention is an increasingly used measure. ―― Usually, it involves a long-term stay where only a few persons are released in any given year. Detention has so far been terminated in case of 21 persons; in 17 cases, the persons continue receiving forensic treatment in a psychiatric hospital, while in 1 case, the person was released; in 2 cases, the inmates died, and another person began serving a prison sentence. ―― There is also an increasing number of cases where forensic treatment is changed into security detention. Currently, this applies to nearly 50% of cases. The analysis describes in detail the composition of the inmate population, imposition of secure treatment in detention and its termination.
