from the prisoners. As noted by the above-mentioned convict, the confidentiality of the health condition is violated in the establishment since the nurse is referring to the prisoner as infected with AIDS in front of the other inmates. In addition, the convict has noted that it is not pleasant when the administration is addressing him with the nickname. Although he chose a woman’s name for himself, he doesn’t want the administration to refer him with this name. He considers that the administration is obliged to respect his wish and during the communication should use the name and surname that is indicated in his identity documents. According to the all above-mentioned, it can be concluded that the prisoners employed in the maintenance service, responsible for cleaning are isolated in the penitentiary establishments, excluded from the prison life, stigmatized and at the same time, there is a high risk of violence against them. There is an impression that the employees of the institution take into consideration the informal prison rules and thus, demonstrate a conciliatory attitude towards the situation. Solution of the problem is less likely in this situation. Therefore, first and foremost it is necessary to timely acknowledge the problem and search for the ways of solving it. It is important to consistently take decisive steps for the eradication of the existing informal prison rules and for establishing the prison management attitude based on human rights.
