 the problem with the vacancies remains. THE PRISON IN THE CITY OF LOVECH 1.1. The findings of the inspection teams of NPM during previous inspections are that the premises in Zone A (central building), B (farm), and hospital with two departments are old and obsolete. At the time of the inspection in 2015 there was an ongoing repair of the kitchen premises in the building, as well as of the kitchen premises in CTPH “Atlant”. As of 29.09.2015 the total number of DPL in the prison amounts to six hundred ninety-nine, of whom three hundred ninety-nine persons are accommodated in the prison building, while its capacity is five hundred thirty-five. NPM recognizes the start of repair works however cells remain in poor material condition and no positive change can be noted, except for the reduction in the number of prison population. 1.2. Food supply in the Prison in the city of Lovech and PH “Atlant” is centralized and depends directly on the amount of the planned budget financial means. Unlike the previous years, in 2015 NPM establishes that the people preparing the food observe all sanitary and hygiene requirements. 1.3. The employment rate of DLP continues to be at low levels as of 2015 as well. This is a tendency observed in all DF. In the Prison in Lovech and in PH “Atlant” DPL are engaged mainly in volunteer work and as housekeeping staff. DLP taken to work out of the building are sixty persons as of 29.09.2015, of whom in the workshops – twenty-one DLP, and thirty-nine DLP are employed in service activities. Working DLP from PH “Poligon” are eighty-eight in total, from PH “V Tarnovo” – twenty-one, and from PH “Atlant” – eighty-three. 1.4. Medical care is provided to DPL at a HC located on the second floor of the prison building. Since the previous inspection there has been no change in the material and technical equipment of the center – obsolete and insufficient equipment, and consulting room and surgery that need repair, a well-equipped dental surgery and isolating premises. There is a negative change in the staffing of the center. The positions of nurse and dentist are cut down. Currently in the center are employed: a general practitioner, who is also the manager of the HC, two feldshers, and one ordinary, who is a DPL. Once a week comes a dentist, who provides services to the DPL as per NHIF package and they have to pay a user fee and a significant part of their treatment, which is impossible for most of them. Psychiatric help is provided in the prison hospital. Twenty-four hour medical care is provided to the DPL in the prison with the assistance of the prison hospital staff. Each person received in the prison has undergone a medical examination and has a personal health record. Electronic health files of the DPL are also created. An average of forty DPL passes through the consulting room a day. DPL sentenced to life imprisonment are visited once a week in their cells. The DPL with chronic diseases, who need a special diet, are provided with such. In a conversation the medical staff shared that the biggest problem after the position cut down is the provision of dental care to the DPL. Multiple requests are made to the head of prison for a repair of the HC but with no results so far. Medical care for the DPL in CTPH “Atlant” is provided at a HC. The consulting room and the surgery are in satisfactory material and technical condition. The dental surgery is closed. The isolating premises – hospital of the center are being repaired. There is a negative change in the staffing of the center here as well. The positions of a feldsher and half position for a dentist are cut down. Currently in the center are employed: a general practitioner, and one ordinary, who is a DPL. The doctor has eight-hour working time and in the remaining time medical care for the DPL should be provided by CEMC – the city of Troyan. The specialized hospital for active treatment of persons deprived of their liberty at the prison in the city of Lovech is a massive four-storey building located in the prison yard.
