that ill and disabled inmates’ nutrition contains more kilocalories29 and keeps this issue under constant control. According to the requirements of the EPC, disabled inmates of the I and II groups, when released, can be sent to Homes for Disabled and Elderly by the MLSPP based on either their own application or the PI management’s recommendation. During the visit to the Prison, it was discovered that inmates sentenced to life imprisonment spent 23 hours of a day in the cell (only 1 hour is allowed for an outdoor exercise), which raised concerns and it was concluded that in order to better arrange inmates leisure time necessary measures needed to be undertaken. It was also discovered that some cells of the punishment isolator were not of the appropriate size. The response letter sent by the MJ regarding the mentioned cases informed that a modern prison complex constructed in Umbaki District, Baku will have stadium and production sites for inmates. In order to increase inmates’ outdoor exercise time, a separate walking site is being constructed for each cell. The current problems existing in punishment isolator will find their solution in the new establishment. The NPG keeping the Prison in focus, visited it for the second time during the year, and relayed the Commissioner’s recommendations about improving conditions in the waiting room at the Prison’s entrance, as well as in the cells which were used to be punishment isolators, making conditions in the punishment isolators’ cells less cramped by removing additional beds, conducting therapeutic talks with inmates inclined to commit suicide, and increasing the number of phone lines which were allocated for inmates’ use. The PS, taking into consideration the recommendations, ensured cosmetic repair works in the waiting room. The renovation of the punishment isolator, as well the cells used to serve as a punishment isolator has been included in the list of renovation works to be performed in 2013, and additional beds have been removed accordingly. The inmates inclined to commit suicide or inflict self-injury have been identified and along with the organization of rehabilitative and psychotherapeutic activities, the control over them has been increased. The PS also intends to increase the number of phone lines which are considered for inmates’ use.

As a result of the Commissioner’s appeal to the MJ, the number of phone lines used by inmates has been increased to four, and it was noted that in order to replace the dormitories’ floors with wooden cover, a deficiency act has 29 Decision No.154 of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan “On Approval of Nutrition and Material-Living Norms for Detainees” of 25 September 2001 22
