• 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.
