Annual review self-isolation in one’s own home. At the same time, however, detention facilities also found innovative ways to compensate for certain restrictive measures such as a ban on visits. For example, outside contact was secured by giving inmates more time to use telephones or by installing video call terminals. The Commission intends to monitor the necessity and expediency of restrictive measures in light of human and fundamental rights concerns. 1.2 Thematic focus When inspection visits resumed in the summer, the Commission decided to direct its attention to three main areas of focus for the remainder of the year. 1. Health care provision: the Commission’s final report on the inspection visits conducted in 2019-2021 will be released in autumn 2021. In addition to these visits, the Commission’s working group responsible for assessing health care provision also organised two online meetings with experts and relevant contact persons to discuss the challenges and ex­ periences associated with COVID-19 in Swiss detention ­facilities. 2. Indefinite incarceration: the Commission also visited detention facilities to assess conditions of detainees, many of whom are considered vulnerable due to various factors such as age and state of health. The Commission’s internal working group studied the files of inmates in Switzerland and visited several facilities where persons are either already incarcerated or are in pre-trial detention. The Commission plans to publish a report in the second half of 2021. 3.
