• To ensure a uniform registration form is elaborated for all establishments with
the work schedule of convicts working in economic service and work performed
by hour; also to consider the remuneration of overtime work in accordance
with the labour legislation; and
• To take all measures for adequate safe working conditions for the prisoners
enrolled in economic service.
3.6. REGIME, DISCIPLINARY RESPONSIBILITY AND INCENTIVES
As the Georgian legislation does not determine which disciplinary penalty should be imposed on an offender in each particular case, in his Parliamentary Report of 2015, the
Public Defender recommended to the Minister of Corrections to elaborate a guideline on
the use of disciplinary penalties. This would enable the uniform imposition of disciplinary
penalties in all establishments of the Penitentiary Department. This recommendation was
preconditioned by uneven practice of the use of disciplinary penalties, which in the opinion of the Public Defender unjustifiably increased the risk for arbitrariness of the administration of penitentiary establishments.
