does not have sufficient information for the risk assessment. A social worker does not
work with the LBT prisoners to provide special assistance. It was revealed as a result of
the monitoring that the risk of self-damage is higher among the LBT female prisoners,
however, there are no specialized schemes developed by the psychologist in place.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE MINISTER OF CORRECTIONS OF GEORGIA:
• Take all necessary measures to carry out the personal searches without insulting the dignity of the inmates;
• To provide the cells for women with the heating and hot water;
• To ensure the separate electronic database for the female inmates for the
timely and effective implementation of the planned medical services;
• To ensure the children living in the facility with the proper clothing and footwear;
• Revise and improve separation procedures involving convicted mothers and
their children so that the child’s best interests are protected through the adaptation with the outside world and minimizing trauma of separation for children;
• Revise a nutrition standard for mothers and children so that there is a sufficient amount of food;
• In case of need, that might be caused by the involvement of the mother in
various activities or her illness, the service of a caregiver or an assistant to
take care of the child should be ensured;
• Undertake measures to raise the awareness of the prison staff on LBT rights,
international standards and potential risks related to placement in closed institutions;
• Intensify the work of psychologist and a social worker with the LBT prisoners
and other female inmates in order to foster acceptance among the non LBT
prisoners and prevent potential risk of self-isolation and damage.
