Administration considers them as a marginalized group. The door of the cell’s sanitary knot cannot completely isolate it from the cell and therefore, there is a specific smell in the cell. The natural ventilation is insufficient in the cell and the artificial one is not functioning at all. Representatives of administration of the establishment N12 have explained to the members of the monitoring group that only one training was held for them, which covered the topic of vulnerable groups, including the GBT prisoners. The institution does not have the guideline principles that include the rules of treatment of the above individuals, however, they consider the existence of this kind of document reasonable. During the conversation with the prisoners, the members of the monitoring group received the information that the administration is threatening the inmates to transfer them to another institution in order to avoid the risks of self-harm. The Special Prevention Group finds this kind of threats unacceptable since the transfer to the other establishment cannot eradicate the reasons of self-harm. Moreover, it has some kind of a punitive nature and might cause a further escalation of the situation. Self-harm can be caused by the numerous factors, including: the feeling of protest, behavioral or mental disorders, grave psychological condition and etc. Timely and adequate intervention of the medical person, social worker and a psychologist of the establishment has utmost importance in this kind of cases. It is noteworthy that the psychologist of the establishment N12 explained that the prisoners of the maintenance service are not in need of special treatment and they enjoy the service of the psychologist like the others. It should be noted that the GBT prisoners, when they are isolated and abused, have a high need for the psycho-social rehabilitation measures. Therefore, it is important that the administration of the Institution N12 assess correctly the needs of the vulnerable prisoners and focus more on the improvement of the psychological services provided to them. Treatment of each prisoner should be based on respect for their, as of human beings’ inherent dignity and values. Every inmated should be protected from torture and inhumane and degrading treatment or punishment that can in no way be justified.246 During the visit to one of the institutions,247 the transgender individual248 who was placed separately was interviewed.
