Pa r t i I . 3B.4. Areas requiring improvement 1. Treatment During individual interviews with charges on the atmosphere in establishments and the way they are treated by their personnel, a  great deal of positive information was found as regards personnel, its commitment to help charges and good relations in establishments. There were, however, reports on using foul language90 as well as psychological and physical violence91 by employees in relation to charges. Another reservation regarding treatment of juveniles, i.e. the use of handcuffs on juveniles as a coercive measure, was made in relation to two facilities92. The measure referred to above cannot be used in juvenile detention centres and juvenile shelters. Pursuant to Article 95a § 1 and 2 of the AJDP, physical strength, a straitjacket, a body belt and an isolation room can be used with respect to charges of juvenile detention centres and juvenile shelters in cases strictly regulated by law. The representatives of the NPM advised to cease the use of handcuffs immediately. Each time, the representatives of the NPM recognised personal searches and tests for the presence of drugs in the organism by employees of juvenile detention centres as improper practice. The foregoing has already been discussed. 2. Disciplining The issue of disciplining often raises a lot of controversy. Although the AJDP contains an exhaustive catalogue of disciplinary measures and rewards, the visitors frequently found, both in internal procedures and in practice, that the catalogue was expanded to include additional penalties, e.g.: additional standby duty, an application for transfer to another establishment, no phone calls allowed, isolation of charges, lowering their pocket money, suspension of passes and leaves for an indefinite period93. The visitors had the most serious reservation about a conditional stay group, i.e. a penalty group, in one of the visited facilities94. It is worth noting that the time of functioning in this group was not clearly defined and depended on a subjective assessment of personnel. Apart from isolation from other charges, boys in this group were more severely treated, among others: they could not wear their JDC in Tarnów.
