Penitentiary establishments In 2018 the NMPT visited 12 penitentiary establishments89: six prisons, two pre-trial detention centres and four field units of the pre-detention centres and a prison. Visits to the Prison in Bydgoszcz - Fordon as well as to the Pre-trial Detention Centre in Lublin constituted re-inspections90. Inspection to the Bemowo Field Unit of the Pre-trial Detention Centre in Warszawa-Białołęka was conducted in the presence of the representatives of the mechanism for the prevention of torture from Kosovo, who were on a study visit to Poland at that time. Due to their attendance the inspection was announced in advance. The visit to prison in Wronki, in turn, aimed at verifying how the authorities of the inspected places observe the prohibition of repression, described in OPCAT. That visit was a follow-up to the inspection held by the UN Subcommittee on the Prevention of Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (SPT) which was visiting Polish places of detention between 9-18.07.2018.
