Correctional institutions Cigarette smoke in every room The NPM also discussed the lack of protection for non-smokers as a structural problem. The commission does not deny that very many persons being held in detention are smokers. For example, at stations 2D and 1C almost everyone (including staff) smokes. At station 2C, it is 15 detainees out of 22. A new concept is indispensable There is a prohibition on smoking in the residential rooms, but smoking is permitted in the communal rooms and corridors. Since the doors are open all day, the smoke penetrates into the rooms. Therefore, the NPM demands that Göllersdorf correctional institution develop a new concept for a better way to separate smokers from non-smokers. New buildings required In view of these serious deficiencies, the NPM asked the Federal Ministry to disclose what additional ideas it has regarding Göllersdorf correctional institution. The response was that the grounds of Göllersdorf correctional institution are large enough to be suitable for the construction of an annexe. The NPM was not satisfied with the response because there are still no specific plans for this, and asked what ideas the Federal Ministry has for creating modern conditions for a facility for the detention of mentally ill offenders in the foreseeable future. Such conditions should not significantly fall below the conditions in the penal system from a material, spatial and structural standpoint – if the Federal Ministry intends to remain at that location. The Federal Ministry did not dispute that there is sufficient space for an annexe on the grounds of Göllersdorf correctional institution. However, before constructing an annexe or seeking competitive bids for the project, budgetary coverage must be ensured (which is currently not available). Since such coverage has not been ensured, realisation of this project cannot be promised. Funds should be approved quickly The NPM can only inform legislators of the completely inadequate conditions at Göllersdorf correctional institution. Appropriate funding should be quickly provided to ensure that there are modern facilities for the detention of mentally ill offenders at this site. XX  The prison administration should provide appropriate funding to construct modern facilities for the detention of mentally ill offenders. XX  Conditions at facilities for the detention of mentally ill offenders should contribute to the recovery of persons with mental illnesses held there. XX  Adequate measures should be taken to remedy the, at times, completely inadequate material conditions and the, at times, inhumane living conditions of persons being held in detention (e.g. at Göllersdorf correctional institution). 106
