36 GENERAL RECOMMENDATION FOR REMEDYING THE IDENTIFIED SHORTCOMING It is necessary to improve current unfit capacities of detention units, i.e., align them with the applicable legislation and standards. The Administration for the Enforcement of Criminal Sanctions shall undertake all measures to enable female detainees to spend available time outside their cells, in the common rooms with the other female inmates, who were not issued any prohibition of contact under the court decision. The Administration for the Enforcement of Criminal Sanctions shall undertake necessary activities in order to amend and supplement the Rulebook on the enforcement of detention measure, which shall closely regulate the way detainees spend their available time outside their cells during a day, in the common rooms with those who do not have any prohibition of contact issued by court decision, and shall closely regulate ways to fulfil the rights of detainees to be engaged in working activities and involved in the social and cultural activities. The Administration for the Enforcement of Criminal Sanctions should enable all detainees to be engaged in working activities and be involved in social and cultural activities. It is necessary to undertake activities so as to ensure that female detainees, due to their paucity in detention units, are not actually placed in solitary confinement, i.e., isolation. Female detainees with severe disabilities who are in detention units should be provided with conditions for adequate accommodation, treatment and rehabilitation. 6.3. Enforcement of criminal sanctions In the course of 2015, the NPM carried out visit to 10 institutions for the enforcement of criminal sanctions.
