Furthermore, the Minister of Justice states that the prisoner-facilitator scheme is currently being assessed. 3.1.2 Right to dignity The CGLPL had recommended laying out areas for accommodating people with reduced mobility. The Minister of Justice explained that, pursuant to the regulations, the accessibility of new institutions is factored in from their construction and that existing institutions are currently being brought into line, the timeline setting the operational phase for 2018 and completion scheduled by 2025. The CGLPL also recommended providing for elderly or dependent people under similar conditions to those they would experience in open environments. The Minister of Justice points out that, in a bid to help prison staff accomplish the necessary tasks, a kit on managing prisoners with diminishing abilities is due to be handed out at the start of 2018. She has also conducted work, in conjunction with the Correctional Service of Canada, on better identifying prisons with diminishing abilities and on providing appropriate support and detention conditions in light of their condition. Finally, a working group is looking into this point as part of the offenders' health strategy26. Whilst all of these points do show that the questions raised by the presence of elderly and dependent people in prison are being considered, they are not, as yet, having any impact on their situation. The CGLPL therefore feels compelled to renew its recommendation. Provide for elderly or dependent people under similar conditions to those they would experience in open environments. The CGLPL also recommended handing out "free vouchers" at regular intervals enabling each prisoner to see to their hygiene needs and order what they genuinely need, and setting up means enabling prisoners to wash their own clothes. The Minister of Justice maintains that every new offender arriving in a prison is handed a hygiene kit which contains the toiletry staples; further products are handed out free of charge to prisoners recognised as being indigent. She states that the planning framework for new penal institutions provides for one laundry per accommodation unit in each wing. The CGLPL had recommended allowing greater freedom of movement towards the exercise yards and activities. The Minister of Justice claims that this question is due to be examined in the discussions on detention regimes and further states that this recommendation is also implemented in the respect units, alongside which more restrictive detention regimes must continue in the institutions. On this point, the CGLPL refers to its opinion of 12 December 2017 (published in 2018) on the respect units set up in penal institutions. 3.1.3 Right to free management of one's own belongings The CGLPL had recommended giving prisoners the opportunity of selling on, donating or lending all of their belongings, including their computer equipment, once this equipment had been inspected and the reasons checked for such a gesture. 26 Published in April 2017 50
