Provision of children with clothing remains to be problematic. In the course of the visit to the establishment it was noted during the interview with the mothers who are placed with their children that the children do not have sufficient clothing, especially the shoes, therefore, they do not take children outside in the cold weather. Warm boots and coats are of special need. The Ministry of Corrections of Georgia referred to the assistance of the Georgian Orthodox Church and other unitary measures related to the above matter, however, did not discuss more effective and sustainable ways of solving the problem. Women prisoners should be given the possibility to implement various measures in order to ensure the guardianship. In this case the Bangkok Rules give the opportunity of temporary release of the female inmates for a reasonable time. Any decision should be taken in line with the best interests of the child, which should be balanced with the public interest typical to the penitentiary system.215 In his Parliamentary Report of 2014 the Public Defender has addressed the Ministry of Corrections with the recommendation to improve and revise the standards of children leaving the institution in line with the best interests of the child. According to the response received from the Ministry of Corrections, the social worker and a psychologist of the facility meet the child and a mother and contact the Social Service Agency in order to find a guiardian. It was noted in the response that in October 2015, with the support of the UNICEF, the meeting took place, which was attended by the representatives of Government, as well as Non-Governmental organizations. According to their explanation, it is planned to conduct another such meeting for regulation of the above issue in accordance with international standards and best practice. It should be noted that this is not sufficient and it is necessary to take effective steps. The Public Defender’s Office will further observe the process of children’s withdrawal from the establishment and its compliance with international regulations. In the living building designated for mothers in the institution N5, still problematic is the lack of products to prepare adequate meals for themselves and their children. There are cases when they take food intended for other prisoners. It is important to solve the problem of children’s nutrition in accordance with the State’s standards, since the State is obliged to take care of the children who are placed in the institution under its control. The Public Defender of Georgia has addressed the Ministry of Corrections with the recommendation related to this matter in his Parliamentary Report of 2014. According to the reponse MOC11600111071 received from the Ministry on 9 February 2015, in case of a mother’s request, nutrition products for children are issued additionally. At the same time, mothers are provided with the nutrition products to prepare the meals.
