Juvenile detention centres and juvenile shelters to maintaining contact with their family, the right to privacy and being provided with stimuli necessary for appropriate development and rehabilitation. 2.  Treatment of juveniles Based on the results of the visit to the establishment in 2012, as well as the previous visits, the NPM representatives assess the treatment of juveniles in the Detention Centre as highly inappropriate. There is a noticeable tense atmosphere between the staff and the juveniles. The visiting team received reports that the tutors are not exactly friendly, that during their shifts they spend a lot of time watching TV, they shout and do not care about the problems of the juveniles. Educational measures in the establishment often boil down to breaking physical and psychical resistance of juveniles rather than supporting them in the rehabilitation process. Juveniles are forced to submit requests concerning the most obvious matters, such as requests for washing away the sweat from their body in the shower, borrowing books from the library, going to school, sociotherapy, receiving an additional soup, having briefs and socks in the transition room, etc. In the opinion of the NPM the methods applied in the Detention Centre cause torments and suffering to the extent and of intensity exceeding what is needed from the disciplinary point of view. 3.  Access of the juveniles to daily outdoor activities The visit to the establishment revealed that, during their stay in the transition room, juveniles are not allowed to go outdoors during the daytime. The regulations of the transition rooms do not include a provision ensuring such a possibility to. Therefore, the representatives of the National Preventive Mechanism recommended that the right of juveniles to have daily one-hour outdoor activities should be included in the regulations of the transition room. The programme of the educational groups shows that juveniles of one of the groups may go outdoors once a week, and those from other groups – three times a week. In the opinion of the visiting team, daily outdoor activities have a positive impact on psychophysical development of youth and in particular of youth residing in closed establishments, i.e. in establishment where their freedom is restricted. Spending some time in the walking yard is often an excellent occasion to compensate for the deficiency of physical exercise of the juveniles114.
