Report on the Performance of Activities of the National Preventive Mechanism for 2017 compulsory psychiatric treatment with prison sentence, vacancies in this respect have a direct effect on the implementation of court decisions. A new dental clinic in the Glina State Prison has been fully equipped, but it is still not functional. This means that the issues regarding the dental protection for prisoners have not been solved. According to records of the COPSPD, no more than 111 prisoners have taken out government-funded supplemental health insurance. The majority of prisoners who do not have regular monthly income do not enjoy the benefits of supplemental health insurance so some of them refuse to undergo therapy to avoid accumulating debts on their deposit accounts. Despite the fact that we have pointed out that therapy should be administered by healthcare practitioners, only seven out of 21 penal institutions comply with this instruction. Execution of prison sentence relies on rehabilitation-based approach that presupposes individualization of sentence by implementing The current situation in the prison hospital is alarming due to number of specialists that have left. More precisely, the lack of psychiatrists is most severely felt, since out of eight previously employed, only one has remained. The Prison hospital has concluded a temporary service contract with another external specialist. individual programmes of execution of prison sentence and a number of specialised treatment programmes for selected groups of prisoners. Greater diversity among treatment groups in terms of age, criminal records etc., calls for implementation of a larger number of specialised programmes. On the other hand, the insufficient number of treatment officials, impossibility to cover enough prisoners by group work to implement the programmes etc. cause organizational issues. In the last couple of years, smaller penal institutions have been implementing preventive programmes. Rather than being focused on behavioural change depending on the criminal act, they put emphasis on the acquisition of special skills and knowledge, problemsolving and improving the quality of life and personal relations. A social skills training is a good case in point. In the majority of penal institutions, treatment officials do not apply proactive approach. Instead, they talk to persons deprived of liberty only after they apply. In some penal institutions, offenders and prisoners on remand very rarely apply for a conversation with treatment staff because they are not informed about such a possibility. For this reason, treatment officials should visit all wards with offenders, prisoners on remand and prisoners at least once a week so as to allow them to engage in a conversation with them without having to apply first and ensure better availability of treatment staff across wards. Prisoners are not likely to enter into an employment relation and engage in rehabilitation programmes without having first completed primary education. For that reason, it is necessary to step up activities that focus on their education. In other words, everyone has to be given an opportunity to complete primary education in order to enter the labour market regardless of their age. In order to ensure more prisoners’ involvement in resocialization programme, the performance evaluation of implementation of individual programmes of execution of prison sentence should be made more transparent and should include more feedback to the prisoners regarding the necessary changes in their behaviour. 19
