144 14. Summary Preventive Mechanism. The visiting delegations did not detect any circumstances indicative of intentional abuse by the staff of the places of detention potentially resulting in severe physical or psychological trauma. With regard to the tasks of the NPM, in my reports on the inspections, I recommended taking measures aimed at terminating and preventing the recurrence of the ill-treatment of persons deprived of their liberty. In 2018, I took measures altogether on 190 occasions. Most frequently, in 143 cases, I made recommendations to the heads of the places of detention,285 in another 29 cases to the heads of the supervisory organ of the institution subject to inquiry,286 and on 3 occasions, I initiated proceedings for the supervision of legality by the competent prosecutor 287 through the Prosecutor General.
