2.8.2. Juveniles In addition to the lack of appropriate services intended for juveniles, there are cases of placement of juveniles in the de-escalation room.147 From January 1 to July 14, 2019, there were 5 cases of placing a juvenile in the de-escalation room in Establishment No. 2.148 In all 5 cases, the juveniles spent 3 days in the de-escalation room. The Special Preventive Group considers it inadmissible to place a juvenile in the de-escalation room and believes that the above may equal inhuman and degrading treatment. In case the life or health of a juvenile or another person are endangered due to the juvenile’s psychoemotional state, instead of placing him/her in the de-escalation room, the prison administration should immediately ensure the involvement of a multidisciplinary team (psychologist, social worker, doctor and, if necessary, psychiatrist) and eliminate the dangers with verbal de-escalation methods. According to the Juvenile Justice Code,149 a juvenile defendant/convict shall have better living and nutritional conditions compared to other defendants/convicts. The nutrition of prisoners (including juveniles) in penitentiary facilities is regulated by the joint order (N388 – N01-18/n) of the Minister of Justice of Georgia and the Minister of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Labour, Health and Social Affairs, which was approved on March 6, 2019. According to Article 4 (1) of the said order, meals shall be provided to the untried/convicted persons three times a day. It should also be noted that according to the Technical Regulation - Child Care Standard,150 when providing 24hour service, the service provider shall be obliged to provide beneficiaries with four healthy meals, one of which must be a three-component dinner. Juvenile prisoners and child beneficiaries under state care are in a substantially similar situation. Due to the fact that the juvenile is adolescent and needs proper nutrition, the State established that 4 meals a day are necessary for the health and full development of juveniles placed under 24-hour care. Accordingly, it is necessary to amend Article 4 (1) of the joint order (N388 - N01-18/N) of the Minister of Justice of Georgia and the Minister of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Labour, Health and Social Affairs so that to extend the above approach to the juvenile prisoners as well. In Establishment No. 2, juveniles are served breakfast between 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., dinner - at 1:00 p.m. and supper between 4:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., which does not correspond to the day schedule of the facility.151 Therefore, it is important to provide food to minors according to the schedule. 147 For details about conditions in de-escalation rooms, see the chapter on ill-treatment. 3 juveniles have been placed in the indicated room, 1 juvenile has been placed twice. 149 Article 83, paragraph 1. 150 Approved by Resolution No. 66 of the Government of Georgia, January 14, 2014. 151 Breakfast: 08:30-09:00, dinner: 13:00-14:00, supper: 18:00-19:00. 148 58
