Last but not least, the Ombudsman recalls that a public register for measures implying use of force should be introduced, as well as a multi-agency register with a view to exchanging information among relevant stakeholders. ACTION TAKEN BY THE PRISON ADMINISTRATION FOR IMPROVING LIVING CONDITIONS IN PRISONS The NPM recalls once again that legislative amendments alone are not an adequate response to the requirements for humane treatment of persons deprived of their liberty if they are not matched with due repairs, reconstruction and improvement of the detention facilities.

Work is expected to be completed in January 2016;  Renovation of the kitchen facilities in Burgas prison is expected to be completed in 2016;  The sleeping quarters in the reformatory of Boychinovtsi have been renovated. As regards investigation detention facilities (IDF):  New IDFs have been set up with the prisons in Burgas and Pleven. A new IDF has been opened in individual premises in Shumen;  IDFs will be set up with the prisons in Lovech and Vratsa in 2016, and IDFs in Dupnitsa and Kyustendil will be tarnsfered to the prison in Bobov dol.
