SECTION 2. The results of NMP operation in Ukraine Preliminary Detention” stipulating detention of persons taken into custody at remand prisons of the State Criminal Enforcement Service has no mention of detention of persons afflicted with tuberculosis. As a result, such individuals are placed in remand prisons that do not belong to the specialized anti-tuberculosis institutions capable of providing relevant comprehensive treatment. At the same time it is noteworthy that the provision of Article 12 of the Law of Ukraine “On Control of Tuberculosis” contradicts the provision in Article 17 of the same law, according to which persons afflicted with tuberculosis that are identified in remand prisons receive treatment and preventive assistance at the medical units of remand prisons. Therefore, such persons are further held in remand prisons that do not belong to the specialized anti-tuberculosis institutions capable of providing relevant comprehensive treatment to tuberculosis patients.

To amend Article 9 of the Law of Ukraine “On Preliminary Detention” with regard to: – periodicity of parcels (packages) allowed to persons taken into custody: Article 9 of this Law entitles persons taken into custody to receive parcels or packages and money transfers but does not contain such language as “without limitations”, while according to Article 112 of the Criminal Enforcement Code of Ukraine the number of parcels and packages allowed to convicted prisoners that are held in penitentiaries is not limited. Such lack of clear provisions on periodicity of parcels (packages) enabled the penitentiary agency to es-
