proportionate to the numbers of inmates. After the appeal made to the MJ, additional phone lines have been allocated and additional twelve showers have been installed in the bathing facility. A number of shortcomings in material conditions and medical care were discovered during the visit undertaken to PI No.17. Although, each cell of the punishment isolator possessed four beds, only 2 chairs were available therein, dormitory conditions of the inmates working in the canteen were unsatisfactory, meeting rooms lacked necessary gears, some of the rooms were in bad conditions, a recreational facility was in poor condition, outdoor facility was not suitable for walks as sewage waters were leaking thereto, and in the main corpus of the establishment the sanitary facilities were of an inadequate number. In addition, it was discovered that some water taps were broken in some premises, which was immediately fixed due to the Commissioner’s request. It was observed that two phone lines used by the inmates were not sufficient, and thus created some hardships for the inmates. During the visit, some inmates stated that they were not received by the MSU, although they were sick. As a result of the conducted investigation, a number of shortcomings in the work of the MSU was discovered, which also included negligence towards the inmates with selfinjuries, and shortcomings in the storage of medicines. Based on the findings of the visit, the Commissioner has appealed to the MJ and consequently, the cells of the punishment isolator have been provided with chairs corresponding to the number of the beds, additional beds have been removed from the canteen rooms, and appropriate conditions have been created. The rooms for a long-term visit have been equipped with bedside tables and chairs, the water collected in the outdoor facility has been drained and the facility cleaned, broken water taps have been repaired. The heating systems of the cells of the punishment isolator and general dormitory have been reinstalled as a result of which adequate temperature has been ensured, since with the existing two phone lines the inmates’ right to use phone correspondence as stipulated in the legislation is ensured, no new phone lines has been allocated. Repair works in the rooms for short and long-term visits, which include the installation of wooden floors, creation of additional sanitary facilities for dormitories, increasing the number of water taps, and repair of the roof, have been included in the list of current maintenance work. The MJ informed that 79 inmates serving their term in the establishment were placed in medical institutions, and 6 inmates were placed in the MSU in order to undertake necessary treatment, whereas 215 inmates received out-patient treatment. The MSU of the establishment has been provided with different types of medicines. It was also found out that the inmates inflicting selfinjuries had neurological problems, which was kept unnoticed. Those inmates have been taken under the MSU’s control as persons prone to self-injury. 26
