Reports of disciplinary action which are prepared in the hearings of inmates who are subject to
disciplinary action shall specify whether the person concerned was given access to professional
assistance.
The Penal and Correctional Facility in Valjevo shall keep separate records of complaints and
appeals, which shall include information on the resolution of complaints, the dates when
relevant decisions were passed and advice on available legal remedy.
The Juvenile Correctional Facility in Valjevo shall undertake measures without delay to ensure
better video surveillance coverage of the Facility. The Juvenile Correctional Facility in Valjevo
shall visibly place a notice of video surveillance in the visiting room.
The Penal and Correctional Facility in Valjevo shall undertake measures without delay to equip
the rooms used for placement of persons deprived of liberty with sound alarms to alert the
guards in the event of any incidents.
At the Juvenile Correctional Facility in Valjevo, any person against whom force has been used
shall be taken for an examination by a physician immediately after the use of force and once
again between 12 and 24 hours after the use of force. The Facility must keep records of
examinations by physicians, with details of the exact time of such examination.
The Correctional Work Department at the Juvenile Correctional Facility in Valjevo is in need of
an internal reorganisation, which would ensure that the corrections officers, and other staff of
that Department as appropriate, become more actively involved in the work with the inmates
placed in the Increased Surveillance Unit. It is necessary to define more precisely the duties and
tasks of corrections staff in their work with this category of inmates, especially those who are
sentenced to juvenile prison.
The Juvenile Correctional Facility in Valjevo shall prepare a practical guidebook for inmates
which will reflect the specific nature of the facility itself and the procedures followed by some of
its departments in their work, including in particular the Security Department and the
Correctional Work. The guidebook shall clearly specify duties and lay down procedures to be
followed by the expert team in charge of admission.
The Juvenile Correctional Facility in Valjevo shall make more use of correctional groups as an
organisational and methodical form of correctional work with inmates. Accordingly, the Juvenile
Correctional Facility in Valjevo shall focus more on the formation of correctional groups, subject
to relevant criteria governing the formation of those groups, especially in respect of the
population sentenced to juvenile prison.
Placement in the Increased Surveillance Unit for security reasons should not necessarily be an obstacle to
modification of the treatment programme; instead, it should be seen as one of the criteria for modification
of the treatment programme and the reason for focusing more intensively on this prison population.
Procedures should be put in place for a continual review of the course of treatment of these persons.
The Juvenile Correctional Facility in Valjevo shall, within its means and obligations and taking
into account the specific needs of inmates, especially those sentenced to juvenile prison, focus
more on social support and assistance to inmates during and after their incarceration. Individual
correctional treatment programmes must be complemented with post-penal social support and
assistance. It is not enough to merely call for cooperation and inform external entities of the need
for such cooperation; instead, the Facility should begin with the efforts and provide specific
services immediately upon admission of inmates at the Facility.
The Juvenile Correctional Facility in Valjevo shall undertake measures to enable all inmates,
regardless of the ward they are in, to enjoy their right to secondary education, in accordance with
