Regarding visits, the law stipulates the right of the detainee to at least one visit a month. Nevertheless, depending on the behaviour of the convicted person, the penitentiary administration can grant additional visits. Consequently, depending on his or her behaviour and his or her attitude towards labour (both remunerated and unremunerated), the convicted person may benefit from 22 long- and short-term visits during a year. The penitentiary program includes also educational training, labour and sport activities etc., which, along with social assistance granted by the administration, contribute to the reintegration of the convicted persons into society. According to articles 227, 228 and 229 of the Execution Code, detainees have access to information, files, correspondence and telephone calls and can address correspondence to law enforcement bodies, central public authorities and international intergovernmental organizations. Post boxes were installed in all prisons and letters are collected by employees of the Moldova Post. A number of deficiencies of conditions of detention have been asserted in 21 temporary detention facilities (isolators) of the territorial police commissariats. As a result, relevant letters have been addressed to commissariats in Balti, Basarabeasca, Cimislia, Soldanesti, Rezina, Vulcanesti, Comrat, Leova, Orhei, Cahul, Causeni, Anenii-Noi, Gagauzia and Floresti with deadlines for proper actions to be undertaken to redress the situation. Despite the undertaken measures to create decent conditions of detention, in some temporary detention isolators the situation remains complicated: - lack of natural illumination and ventilation in cells (Balti, Bender, Anenii-Noi, Basarabeasca, Cahul, Causeni, Cimislia, Drochia, Floresti, Hincesti, Leova, Riscani, Singerei, Soldanesti, Soroca, Telenesti, Comrat, Vulcanesti and the Operative Service Department of the A/HRC/13/39/Add.6 158 constitute a progressive evolution of rights of detainees in relation to their behaviour. The enforcement depends on the punishment and the behaviour of the detainees, the danger they represent, based on an evaluation of the personality and behaviour, as well as on their individual plan of serving the sentence.
