INTRODUCTION After ten years of our work, we have found that a better overview of the recommendations given is required. Therefore, following the example and good experience of some of the national preventive mechanisms, especially the Austrian one, we decided in 2018 to establish a special recommendation overview table. When preparing the table, we mainly took into account our own experience and needs. First, key words were determined, which would be used to label a particular recommendation. The following 12 categories were determined: (1) general, (2) living conditions, (3) treatment, forms of work, (4) health care, (5) activities, (6) staff, (7) contact with the outside world, (8) food, (9) treatment of unwanted behaviour, violation of the rules for living, (10) records, documentation, (10) legal protection, complaint channels, (11) relocation, discharge, (12) other. Different categories in the table itself were then formed, so that it is immediately clear for each recommendation during which visit it was given, related to which location of deprivation of liberty, at which location, which type of visit it was, which non-governmental organisation cooperated, and whether an expert also attended the visit. The full recommendation is listed in the table, followed by a brief explanation of the recommendation if necessary; the aforementioned key word is used for a clarification of the type of a recommendation (systemic, general, or targeted); response to the recommendation and the comment on the response if necessary; findings from the control visit, and the response to these findings. Good practice and commendations provided during our work are also entered into the table. Recommendations made by the NPM after visits in 2018 are displayed in the Slovenian version of this report in the form of tables below by individual types of places of deprivation of liberty. Whereby, it needs to be taken into account that this is the situation as of the beginning of 2019 (when drafting this report, certain reports about visits were still being prepared, and we have not yet received response reports to some of them, which is why the number of the recommendations made is not final, including the data on the implementation of individual recommendations (for some of them, only the response from the visited institution has been observed, and not from the competent ministry whose response we are still waiting)). Since this is the first year of presenting our work in this manner, certain improvements or corrections of the presentation will likely be needed.
