49 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ELIMINATION OF SHORTCOMINGS The Administration for enforcement of criminal sanctions should continue with the activities of aligning the accommodation capacities in detention units of the institutions for enforcement of criminal sanctions, with the current standards. Institutions for enforcement of criminal sanctions enable all the detainees to spend time outside dormitories, with other detainees who are not prohibited by the court to have contacts. Institutions for enforcement of criminal sanctions should continue to create conditions for engaging the detainees in work and their inclusion into social and cultural activities. The Administration for enforcement of criminal sanctions shall take the necessary steps to amend the Regulation on enforcement of detention measure, to set forth a more detailed way for the detainees to spend the available time during the day outside dormitories, in common occupancies, with other detainees where there is no court decision prohibiting such contacts and to provide a more detailed regulation for the detainees to exercise their right to work and be involved in social and cultural activities. It is necessary to take steps to prevent that female detainees spend time in isolation and/or confinement, due to their small number. 6.3.
