2.5.15 Pictures of naked females in the charge office – Stein correctional institution During a visit to the Stein correctional institution in May 2014, the commission noticed photos of naked females in a charge office. The NPM demanded the immediate removal of these pictures, since female prison guards could feel sexually harassed by such degrading or disrespectful portrayals. Objectionable photos in the charge office The compromising pictures in the charge office were promptly removed and the prison warden was instructed to ensure that such pictures are not hung anywhere in the entire institution. The dignity of men and women must be protected in the workplace. Conduct that affronts or impairs human dignity or intends to do so, particularly derogatory or harmful statements and provocative representations (posters, calendars, screen savers etc.), must be halted. The offence of sexual harassment refers not only to the protection of bodily integrity from unwanted sexual acts, but also to mental vulnerability. Consequently, posting pictures of naked females in the charge office can constitute sexual harassment.    Sexual harassment Sexual harassment is an affront to human dignity. Derogatory or hurtful statements and depictions are also unacceptable and therefore must be avoided. The employer must ensure that the sexual autonomy, sexual integrity and privacy of employees are not endangered. Therefore, the employer must ensure that no pictures of naked females are hung in charge offices. 2.5.16 Positive findings Exemplary conduct by a prison guard – Stein correctional institution, Oberfucha field office Eight prison guards and 29 male inmates. This is the occupancy of the Oberfucha field office near Krems. The inmate cells are sparse, shabby and cramped. However, inmates are able to individualise them and there are temporary room partitions. The crowded quarters are compensated for by great freedom of movement during the day. Good atmosphere despite shabby premises The tone taken with inmates and the consideration of personal circumstances appear to be exemplary. The tone is supportive and the inmates are treated with respect. The commission gained this impression during its visit to the correctional institution in August 2014. Respectful treatment Oberfucha provides evidence of how open detention can work. One particular case showed how well prison guards and inmates living together can function despite the different roles. The day before the commission’s visit, an inmate complained about a painful toothache. Since the dentist was on holiday, the officer on duty drove the prisoner Best practice 116
