CONSOLIDATED REPORT
Thus, as noted by NPM
members, the situation of
persons transferred to pretrial detention center from
institutions
of
medium
security level worsens. They
do not have the right for
telephone
conversations
or the right for long visits.
Moreover, in their opinion,
a legal conflict arises: the
authorized body cancels
the decision of the court
regarding the type of
institution worsening the
rights of convicts, and the
term of the convicted person
staying in the mixed security
institution in local areas
called “special valleys” is not
regulated. A convict may stay
in these institutions for years,
which is contradicts:

Prisoners, which insistently
requires to regulate by the
laws or regulations of the
competent
administrative
authority:

behavior
that
constitutes a disciplinary
offense;

b) type and duration of
the penalties that may be
imposed on prisoners;
c)
authority
having
the right to impose such
penalties;
d) any measures of
forced
separation
of
detainees from the general
inmates, such as solitary
confinement,
isolation,
segregation,
placement
in a punishment cell or
restriction of conditions
of detention, whether as a
disciplinary measure or to
enforce order and safety,
including the introduction
of principles and procedures
regulating the use and
revision of the procedure
for
the
petition
and
abolition of any measures
of compulsory isolation.
Rule 58
1. Prisoners should be
allowed to communicate with
their families or friends with
regular intervals and under
proper supervision:

using
telecommunication,
electronic, digital and other
means if there is such an
opportunity; and
