Protection of Healthcare in Penitentiary System and Torture Prevention Mechanisms Based on the above data only in case of 31 % of cases of damage medical treatment was given, and that at the time when 66 % of these injuries were wounds. Prisoners who are incompatible with long-term imprisonment Herewith we note that as of September 2012 no practice of release of prisoners with untreatable diseases has been observed. A list of these diseases and a committee was formed on the basis of decrees by two ministers. The latter was assigned to reveal and release individuals with such diseases, however it did not function. The list of severe and untreatable diseases did not correspond to modern criteria and classifications of diagnostics. Accordingly, the number of inmates deceased in the penitentiary system reflects such attitude towards severely ill inmates. Several cases of delay were recorded but we did not possess such statistics. At the end of 2012 with the view of defusing the crisis situation at Georgian penitentiary system and based on humanitarian principles sentences of hundreds of individuals were delayed due to their severe illness diagnosis; Though we shall note that during the monitoring we have again recorded inmates in the penitentiary system, whose state of health has severely worsened. Given the above, it is necessary to establish control on this issue and send a group of experts to carry out monitoring in this direction. Case: O.
