CHANCELLOR OF JUSTICE AS THE PREVENTIVE MECHANISM The PBGB replied that on 14 January 2010 it had started negotiations with the Ministry of Education and Research to create possibilities for persons in the age of compulsory school attendance in the centre to acquire education. (12) In addition, it was verified how female detainees in the centre can communicate with other detainees if they wish. The inspection visits have revealed that generally significantly fewer women than men are detained in the centre, so that usually there is only one woman detainee. As a rule, for security reasons, women and men are housed on separate floors and they also have separate areas for spending time outside the building. If a person is detained alone this may have an additional adverse effect on their psychological well-being. The Chancellor recommended to the Director General of the PBGB to enable women detainees to communicate with other persons in the centre if they wished, while taking additional measures to guarantee the security of the person if necessary. The PBGB replied that female and male detainees can communicate with each other during free time through the wire fence in the exercise yard. They can also make calls to telephones in different accommodation sections. (13) The inspection visit revealed that due to the organisation of security services, security staff and officials of the centre are not constantly present in the accommodation section, and therefore there have been delays with the possibility for detainees to call for assistance. The Chancellor recommended to the Director General of the PBGB to analyse the situation and consider a possibility to install call buttons also in the accommodation sections. The PBGB replied that it would look for possibilities for installing a call button within the range of vision of the video surveillance systems in all the accommodation sections. (14) The inspection visit revealed that due to budgetary reasons windows in the accommodation sections had no curtains. The logbook of the centre contained a description of an incident where detainees had tried to use bed sheets as curtains. The Chancellor recommended to the Director General of the PBGB to provide curtains for the accommodation sections. The PBGB informed the Chancellor that curtains had been fitted in the accommodation sections on 19 January 2011. 38
