Sanitary Unit, as well as punishment isolator were concrete, one of the dormitories was not illuminated with normal natural light due to the small size of its window, there were no permanent dentist and a separate lawyer room, and the administrative building of the institution was located in the middle of the residential area of convicts were evaluated as negative cases. In the response to the appeal addressed by the Commissioner to the MJ it is stated that with respect to the mentioned deficiencies and shortcomings, a candidate with relevant specialization has been approved by the Recruitment Commission established in the MJ Head Medical Office to staff the vacancy of doctor-dentist in the Medical-Sanitary Unit and a motion has been made to the MJ to appoint him accordingly. The wooden flooring of the convicts’ dormitories and punishment isolator, and expansion of the window in a dormitory room will be realized in the near future subject to the availability of financial resources. At the same time covering the floor of the Medical-Sanitary Unit of the establishment with wood has been included in the budget of the MJ Head Medical Office. As well as a deficiency report has been drawn up to repair the roofs of the punishment isolator and one of the regime buildings and the volume of the works to be performed has been determined. The current repair of the roofs will start in the near future. In the response it is also stated that as the relevant normative-legal acts regulating the structure of PIs do not provide for the organization of separate rooms for meetings between convicts and their lawyers or other persons eligible to provide legal assistance, short visit rooms and personnel’s rooms are used for this purpose. At the same time it has been planned to arrange special rooms in the new penitentiary institutions, which are presently under construction in different regions of the republic, for ensuring that convicts have access to legal assistance. The Commissioner believes that the above mentioned issue needs to be regulated by law. In addition to the aforementioned, it has also been informed that taking into account that the administrative building of the institution is located in the residential area of convicts, the building concerned has been separated from the other area with iron railings. 55
