84 ANNUAL REPORT 2015 EXAMPLES OF IMPORTANT REACTIONS IN 2015 Themes Every year, the Ombudsman selects one or more themes for the Monitoring Department’s monitoring visits in collaboration with the Danish Institute for Human Rights and DIGNITY – Danish Institute Against Torture. Thematic reports are published at www.ombudsmanden.dk. THEME: Placement in solitary confinement cell The Ombudsman’s key recommendations – State prisons and local prisons must ensure that inmates are only placed in solitary confinement cell and, if required, only forcibly restrained when deemed necessary. – During placement, the staff must on a regular basis assess whether there are grounds for maintaining the placement and possibly immobilisation. – The institutions must increase their focus on documentation in connection with placement in solitary confinement cell, and they must ensure that all reports on placement in solitary confinement cells contain a sufficient description of why it is necessary to use solitary confinement cell and possibly immobilisation.
