The director of the facility is taking steps to employ a general practitioner, but he has not yet been successful. All juveniles deprived of their liberty should have frequent access to a telephone and there should be a minimum entitlement to be able to call one’s family without having to earn it as a reward.273 The recommendation has been implemented. The juveniles did not report any complaints regarding access to the telephone. Telephone calls on weekdays are made and answered within the set hours, and on Sundays and public holidays, they are made and answered without any restrictions. Additionally, incoming telephone calls to juveniles staying in transit rooms for new arrivals and in medical isolation rooms are not subject to any restrictions. Juveniles who have the right (as a privilege or a reward) to use a computer and the internet may contact their family members and relatives via Skype, which possibility is willingly used by them. Ensure that all juveniles in correctional facilities, irrespective of their regime, are offered the possibility of daily outdoor exercise for at least two hours; construct a roof over a part of the outdoor exercise yard to ensure protection against bad weather conditions.274 The recommendation has been implemented in part. The availability of outdoor activities, lasting for about 2 hours per day, was confirmed by the juveniles. They pointed out they would like the activities to be even longer, if there were no objections on the part of the educators and if this did not disrupt the work of the facility. However, there is still no roofing over the exercise yard to protect it against bad weather. Maintain the current number of employees at the facility (staff reductions were planned).275 The recommendation has been implemented. The number of employees was not reduced and has even slightly increased compared to 2017. • THE FUNCTIONING OF JUVENILE EDUCATIONAL CENTRES IN THE TIME OF THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC Epidemiological situation There were no COVID-19 infections in any of the centres among the juveniles or staff members.
