A/HRC/31/57/Add.3 Protocol), which he acknowledged was not applied, the Special Rapporteur also noted that measures are being taken to remedy this situation. 93. With regard to medical attention, while noting that specialized services are available through referral to local hospitals or the central penitentiary hospital in Gldani, the Special Rapporteur found the in situ care and services to be elementary and that medicines provided by the establishment very limited. Pharmaceutical supplies (at the inmate’s expense) are generally not available, and only in cases where the inmate had a prescription was the family allowed to bring medicines, and this was further limited in cases where the detainee’s family lived far from the place of detention. 94. In addition, the Special Rapporteur learned that transfers for medical reasons, in particular from peripheral areas to the central penitentiary hospital in Gldani, were often unduly arduous, sometimes involving many hours of uncomfortable transport and occasionally even made in vain when specific doctors or treatments are not available. According to information from the Government, no transfers have been delayed since 2012. 6. Visits 95. Detainees in temporary detention isolators and in pretrial facilities are not entitled to receive visits of any kind. 96. Inmates in semi-open facilities are allowed two short-term visits per month and three long-term visits per year, while inmates in closed facilities, including high-security ones, are only allowed non-contact family visits of two hours, involving up to two adults and three children that have all been previously registered and certified as family members. The visits are conducted through a glass panel and by telephone. 97. The Special Rapporteur learned that, in open and juvenile facilities, both short and long family contact visits are allowed (including, in the case of short visits in juvenile facilities, the freedom to take walks on the premises). Long (24-hour) visits, including conjugal visits, are held in well-prepared, decent rooms. The Special Rapporteur noted with concern, however, that inmates are only entitled to a long visit once every six months, an entitlement they may lose in the event of disciplinary measures. Furthermore, even short visits are infrequent, allowed on average only once a month. The Special Rapporteur takes note of the Juvenile Justice Code, due to enter into force in January 2016, which aims to improve conditions for visits and calls. 7. Nutrition 98. Despite receiving a few isolated complaints (mainly regarding the lack of variety), the Special Rapporteur found the food to be highly adequate in terms of both quality and quantity. He was informed that the system caters for five different diets: a regular diet, and four diets for inmates with specific health needs. In all prison facilities, food services are provided by a contractor, which was found to comply fully with applicable standards. 8. Women and juveniles 99. With regard to women’s detention facilities, the Special Rapporteur observed that conditions were generally good, including with regard to the right of women detainees to have their children with them until the age of three. He heard complaints from women held in pretrial facilities about shortages and sometimes the absence in the prison shops of feminine hygiene products and other items, such as deodorants. 100. The Special Rapporteur was informed that, between 2008 and 2014, the number of convicted juveniles decreased from 1,166 to 381. Similarly, the proportion of custodial sentences decreased significantly from 40 per cent in 2008 to 26 per cent in 2014. In both 16
