B APPENDIX Dnr O 7-2018 Page 10 (15) When asked, the representatives of the Prison and Probation Service stated that all those registered as held in a remand prison (including those placed in an external facility, those detained by the order a prosecutor and detainees on transportation stopovers) are included in the occupancy statistics. At the same time, not all cells in remand prisons are counted as ordinary places, for example the transportation cells in the remand prisons in Göteborg, Jönköping, Sollentuna and Örebro. If you look at the total number of places, however, there are relatively few places that are not included but that can be occupied and included in the occupancy statistics. The Chief Parliamentary Ombudsman emphasised that the Prison and Probation Service's method of reporting the numbers of registered admissions, inmates and places means that transparency is extremely limited and that there is a risk that the Prison and Probation Service will highlight different figures based on what it is they want to present. The representatives of the Prison and Probation Service shared this opinion and one result, inter alia, is that it complicates the information presented in the annual report. There are four different ways to define places. Occupancy can be calculated in different ways by taking into account different factors. One way is to calculate the average occupancy and this information is used in the Prison and Probation Service's annual statistics and submitted to the government. This calculation includes, for example, police custody cells [that the Prison and Probation Service operate on the basis of agreements with the Police Authority]. Another way is to base the calculation on the current occupancy rate on any given day which would not include, for example, police custody cells. The Prison and Probation Service is reworking the way in which it presents its statistics so that the outside world can better understand the occupancy figures. Surveys on the use of isolation-breaking measures and time spent in association This section addressed the following issues: a) b) c) d) e) f) For which categories are isolation-breaking measures measured? Does the Prison and Probation Service measure the use of isolationbreaking measures for inmates without restrictions, and if so, for what reason? Is the amount of time in association measured for inmates in an association place? Why is it not possible to follow different categories, for example individuals detained in custody? Are there categories that the Prison and Probation Service does not consider to need association with other inmates or for which isolationbreaking measures do not need to be taken, and if so, which and why? Why does the Prison and Probation Service only use manual systems for measuring the use of these measures instead of central and digital systems? – 76 –
