implemented, which is a positive development. However, in the rest of the cells and in particular in the ones on the last floor there was no running water. 1.2. The NPM did not establish any improvement of the way catering was organized. The recommendation made in the course of the previous inspection in 2014, namely that inmates who prepared the food should use gloves, has been implemented. 1.3. The occupation rate in Bobov dol prison continues to be low. Some seven to ten inmates are employed by xternal companies. Most of the inmates are involved with voluntary unpaid work or prison maintenance. Eight inmates work in a carpenter’s workshop. 1.4. Inmates receive medical service in a medical centre with the prison. The poor material conditions and technical equipment of the centre that had been established during the previous inspection had remained unchanged. The staff of the medical centre is as follows: one physician who is also manager of the medical centre; one medical auxiliary under a civil contract; one dentist who visits the prison twice a week; and one attendant. A psychiatrist visits the prison once a week and a V.D. expert – twice a month. All newly arrived prisoners are subjected to medical examinations. Health records are made only for inmates with chronic diseases. Examinations performed by the medical auxiliary are formal. Ambulatory examinations of inmates are performed in accordance with a schedule drawn up by the prison head and are often attended by a prison guard. Provision of medication: prescribed medication that is subsidized by the National Health Insurance Fund is purchased from the pharmacy in town by a designated officer; medication for emergency cases and hospital treatment is supplied from the prison pharmacy storehouse. A set of medication listed by the medical service of the DG “Execution of Punishments” is available in priosn. Medication for chronically ill inmates is left with them and only insulin and psychotropic substances are administered by the medical expert on duty or by the attendant, in the presence of a prison guard, during weekends. Medical records in the medical centre are poorly kept. Only the name (group) of the inmate and the medication he has been administered are recorded in the book of medical examinations without however describing his health status or diagnosis that required the respective treatment. Ambulatory records of consultations made are kept altogether, for all inmates. 1.5. The analysis of the disciplinary sanctions imposed under Article 101 of the Execution of Punishmnets and Remand in Custody Act in the prison in Bobov dol demonstrates a significant rise of the following sanctions: written warning; extra duty in maintaining hygiene up to sevendays; solitary confinement during out-of-work/school hours, weekends or holidays up to 14 24-hour periods over three months. Decrease has been established in relation to the following disciplinary sanctions: prohibition to take part in collective eventsin or outside the detention place and solitary confinement up to 14 24-hour periods“. It should be noted down that three inmates were confined following an order of the director general of DG “Execution of Punishments” under Article 120 Execution of Punishmnets and Remand in Custody Act. After studying the minutes of three meetings of the Commission under Article 73 of the same act held in 2015, the NPM established that a very low number of prisoners who qualified for early release on parole or lighter terms of serving their sentences were proposed to have their sentences reviewed. Inmates complained mostly of the lack of hot water or heating, high prices in the in-house store, poor quality of medical service and food. 1.6. The NPM points out that in 2015 the problems regarding understaffing persisted. There are no social inspectors, which prevents individual or group therapy and leads to extra workload for the social workers. REFORMATORY FOR MALE JUVENILES IN THE TOWN OF BOYCHINOVTSI 1.1. In 2015, the NPM observed the successful implementation of two of the most important recommendations regarding the reformatory for male juveniles in Boychinovtsi, i.e. improve the 37
