Overview of Recommendations submitted by the Commission in 2017
security measures are imposed. Such measures should be clearly distinguished from disciplinary measures and recorded in
a separate register (NCPT Report, Zurich 2017, p. 5).
– The Commission recommends that the Lenzburg Correctional Facility administration transfer detainees to the crisis intervention cell only upon the medical order of a physician
and that in each case a formal written order be issued from
the first day, including a mention of the available avenues of
appeal (NCPT Report, Lenzburg 2017, pp. 4–5).

Opportunities for exercise and leisure pursuits
– In the Commission’s opinion, the individuals detained in both
of the security units of the Thorberg Correctional Facility
should be provided with opportunities to engage in exercise
and sports and social contact should be encouraged (NCPT
Report, Thorberg 2017, p. 9).
– It recommends that the administration of the Zurich Prison
– where female detainees may be confined to their cells for
23 hours per day, particularly on weekends – take measures
to reduce the weekend cell confinement periods (NCPT Report, Zurich 2017, p. 6).
– The Commission recommends that the administration of the
Zurich Prison take steps to expand the opportunities for women to engage in meaningful leisure pursuits and that a minimum range of opportunities for engaging in such pursuits
be made available also on weekends (NCPT Report, Zurich
2017, p. 7).
g.
Medical care
– The Commission noted the absence of clear procedural rules
for the examination of arriving detainees and recommends
that such rules be included (NCPT Report, Zürich 2017, S. 6).
– The Commission recommends to ensure that medications
subject to prescription are distributed only by a medical professional (NCPT Report, Zurich 2017, p. 6).
