their reintegration into the society.’ 207 In the Rehabilitation Institution of the Juveniles
N11 the convicts enjoy the legal right to short and long term visits, video and phone
visits. There are two furnished rooms designated for the long term visits. However, a fee
related to exercising the right to long term and video visits represents a barrier in this
regard. 208 In 2014, 909 short visits and 19 long term visits were conducted in the facility
N11. In 2015, the number of the short visits was decreased; however, the number of the
long term visits has been increased. During the reporting period, 653 convicts used the
right to the short term visit and 29 inmates – to the long term visit.

security reasons, as an extreme and temporary measure;
• Ensure all juveniles with the possibility to receive the proper education, including the higher education.
