Overview of Recommendations submitted by the Commission in 2017 setting and not in the detention cells. For the conduct of medical examinations, the examination rooms located at the basement level should be used (NCPT Report, Zurich 2017, p. 6). – The Commission recommends that the enforcement authorities adapt detention conditions to suit the special needs of pregnant women and that women be transferred, where possible, to a more appropriate facility, as the physical conditions of detention and the absence of opportunities for pregnant women to exercise have proved to be problematic. Wherever possible, alternatives to the placement of pregnant women should be examined (NCPT Report, Zurich 2017, p. 7). – The Commission accordingly recommends that the prison administration review the dietary requirements of women, taking into account their daily calorie needs and, where necessary, take the appropriate steps (NCPT Report, Zurich 2017, p. 7). – The Commission recommends that the administration of the Zurich Prison take steps to ensure that a female staff member is present on night shifts and on weekends in order to guarantee that detained women are at all times, without exception, under female supervision (NCPT Report, Zurich 2017, p. 8). c. Use of measures of restraint – The Commission recommends that the administration of the Thorberg Correctional Facility refrain, wherever possible, from the use of additional restraints on highly agitated individuals and that it examine the possibility of employing less severe measures and of constructing a suitable security cell for such cases. Where in exceptional cases the use of additional restraints proves necessary, an order is to be correctly issued in writing, including the date, type of restraint to be employed, and the pertinent grounds; in addition, the presence of medical surveillance is to be assured and a record is to be kept of each use of such measures, without exception (NCPT Report, Thorberg 2017, p. 6).
