In 2015, N3 facility held chess and checker tournament, carried out in the English language (4 convicted), the Georgian language (2 convicted), web design (4 convicts) and art-therapy (8 convicted) programs. It should be noted that in 2014, according to the Parliamentary Report, N3 facility had no rehabilitation and the Public Defender welcomes the establishment of the steps taken towards the rehabilitation of prisoners and hopes that rehabilitation activities will increase in the diversity and the involvement of prisoners. 2013 and 2014 Reports of the Public Defender addressed the Minister of Corrections, to ensure that a variety of re-socialization programs are introduced and implemented at the establishment N7 of the penitentiary department, as a temporary measure, before its final abolition. It should be noted that this recommendation has not been fulfilled. It is Necessary, that prisoners of closed institutions are allowed to be engaged in something of their interest, be it entertainment, arts, labor, educational and other activities, at least in their cells. It is also important, even in the view of limited possibilities that the institution promotes certain individual sports activities. For example, if requested, a prisoner shall be taken to the yard, where it will be able to train individually. For this purpose with the view of the interests of safety, it is possible to make elementary sports equipment available in a yard. In the Parliamentary Report of 2014, the Public Defender advised the Minister of Corrections to take all necessary measures to introduce a wide variety of rehabilitation activities in all penitentiary establishments, to encourage the establishment of a social forum, with the participation of the prisoners and to plan and carry out various activities. Such measures are to be planned, taking into consideration the interests of the prisoners. In order to secure better involvement of prisoners in such activities, various forms of encouragement should be used. It should be noted that the above recommendations have not been implemented. The acute problem is the implementation of the rehabilitation programs in the penitentiary department establishments N3, N6, N7, N9, N18 and N19. This was also indicated in the Public Defender Parliamentary Reports of 2014 and 2013. 2.4.3.
