CAT/OP/KAZ/1/Add.1 278. In accordance with recommendations made by international human rights organizations, the new Penalties Enforcement Code does not include punishments such as placement in a disciplinary unit for juvenile convicted prisoners. The director of the institution can decide to place adolescent convicted prisoners who display aggressive behaviour in a temporary isolation room for up to 48 hours to prevent violations of the procedure for serving sentences (Penalties Enforcement Code, art. 150). 279. It is recognized in the Penalties Enforcement Code that general education is one of the main corrective measures for convicted prisoners. For this reason, vocational and secondary education has been organized for juveniles in institutions of the penal correction system. 280. There is a general education school in the grounds of the institution, and young offenders aged 14 to 18 years study there in grades 9 to 11 (three classes in the State language of instruction and three in Russian). In the 2015/16 academic year, 12 students received certificates on successful completion of general secondary education (grade 11) and 5 students received certificates of successful completion of basic secondary education (grade 9). 281. General education schools are not only places of learning, but also offer extracurricular activities in the form of clubs. In these clubs, young offenders study drawing technique and applied art. The teachers in the school are members of the institution’s educational council and take part in the work of the commission responsible for assessing convicted prisoners’ conduct and transferring them to other possible regimes for serving their sentences. 282. Learning a trade is an important part of a juvenile’s reintegration into society. The trade school in the institution offers the opportunity to train as a mechanic, a metal worker or a carpenter. Training lasts for 6.5 months. Convicted prisoners who successfully complete trade school receive a standard State document indicating their grade. Depending on the length of their sentence, convicted prisoners can manage to learn two or three trades. In the 2015/16 academic year, 50 students received trade school diplomas. There are 28 students enrolled in the current academic year. 283. Guardianship councils and parental committees made up of convicted prisoners’ parents and other close relatives have been set up to improve the effectiveness of the educational initiatives introduced for their benefit and to assist the administration of the young offenders’ institution. 284. In addition, the staff of territorial judicial bodies and lawyers’ and notaries’ offices provide young offenders with qualified legal assistance. 285. Many municipal organizations, educational institutions, voluntary associations, religious denominations and NGOs work with juvenile convicted prisoners. 286. The Almaty municipal administration (akimat) also plays an active role. It works with the department for physical education and sport to organize regular sporting events, concerts and screenings of films, comedy programmes and so forth. In 2016, 14 such events were organized and took place. 287. These various efforts are all, first and foremost, part of the educational process and are aimed at promoting law-abiding behaviour among juvenile convicted prisoners, providing incentives for them to reform and encouraging their rapid reintegration into society. Paragraph 136 The Subcommittee recommends that consent for hospitalization be requested separately from consent for treatment and that an independent commission be established to deal with complaints. A special register for the use of restraint measures should be introduced, and should include all necessary data, for example, who ordered the restraints, for what reason, for how long and the supervision provided, and the approach to treatment should be individualized. The medical centre for mental health in Astana should also facilitate privacy and decorations in patients’ rooms. GE.18-05420 31
