undertaken the necessary actions to provide medical care by concluding civil contracts with a general practitioner, a dentist, a psychiatrist, and a medical feldsher. 1.3. Another problem established by NPM team during the previous inspections of the prison in the town of Belene is the lack of employment of the DLP. A large number of people have low educational qualification and vocational training. As per the data from the analysis of the prison communities for the second half year of 2014, in the prison in the town of Belene there are three hundred fifty-nine DLP with primary or lower education, which represents two-thirds of the total number of inmates. The same is the number of DLP with no vocational training. According to the prison administration the lack of vocational training and educational qualification is the reason for the low number of employed persons. In this respect, NPM has recommended conducting courses for obtaining vocational training degree, as well as the establishment of a school at the prison in the town of Belene. Since September 2015 a school is established from first to fourth class with four classes for a total of sixty students. Still there are no courses for professional qualification or re-qualification of the persons deprived of their liberty. NPM recommends that the prison administration applies for European programs for the stated courses. 1.4. NPM recommendation to establish an open-type prison hostel at the prison in the town of Belene is not implemented. As NPM has already pointed out before, this results in direct violation of the rights of the persons deprived of their liberty, who became eligible to regime change and to be moved to a facility with less stringent conditions. 1.5. The overall findings of NPM team during the follow-up inspection in the prison in the town of Belene are that a significant part of NPM recommendations are implemented. Once again NPM team recommends:  to conduct courses for professional qualification or re-qualification of the persons deprived of their liberty in the prison in the town of Belene;  to establish an open-type prison hostel at the prison in the town of Belene. THE PRISON IN THE CITY OF STARA ZAGORA At the time of the inspection of Stara Zagora prison part of the inmates were being transferred to the prison in Pazardzhik to start refurbishment of all quarters of the prison building. During the inspection the NPM attended meetings with inmates (in groups) organized by the head of the prison and intended to clarify to the persons deprived of their liberty what action was taken and what inconveniences the inmates would experience in relation to the ongoing repair works. The method of transferring inmates to the prison in Pazardzhil was explained, too, and inmates were encouraged to be proactive in this process. The NPM is satisfied to note down that most of the recommendations issued in previous reports will be implemented by the time the repair works are completed. In relation to the above, the NPM will refrain from any analysis or recommendations concerning the material conditions or work of the Stara Zagora prison administration in this annual report. THE PRISON IN THE TOWN OF BOBOV DOL 1.1. At the time of the inspection 439 inmates were accommodated in the main building of the prison in Bobov dol, and 61 in the open-type prison hostel “Samoranovo”, or a total of 500 perosns deprived of their liberty, which is in compliance with the requirement of four sq.m. living space per person. The NPM did not establish any progress in imporving the poor material conditions (e.g. poor lighting, insufficient inflow of fresh air, por hygiene). The NPM recommendation to ensure hot water in the cells of inmates serving life imprisonment has been 36
