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). f. 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).
