The location of the Reformatory in the city of Boichinovtsi creates difficulties for the relatives of PDL to maintain social contact. Reintegrating of PDL in society is also difficult. Taking into account the state of the PEs in the Republic of Bulgaria, this issue can not be considered independently. The NPM addresses the competent authorities with a proposal to analyse and assess the need for relocation of the institution in less space, which to be sufficiently communicative and well-equipped with a view to the needs of PDL- minors. *** In 2012, the inspecting team of the NPM recommended the Ministry of Justice changing the status of prison dormitory"Vitus" to the prison in the city of Pleven from open to closed type aiming to relieve the prison's corpus. During its inspection in 2014 the NPM was pleased to find out that this recommendation had been implemented. *** All prisons have kitchens where food for PDL is prepared. Food supplies are centralised and directly related to the amount of the planned budget. Already in 2012 the NPM identified the need to conduct repairs in all prison kitchens and warehouses. No actions have been taken by the Ministry of Justice in this regard. Despite the poor material conditions, anywhere in the inspected objects (kitchens, dining rooms, service spaces) the workers maintain good hygiene. In all PEs the requirement for taking and storing samples of food is observed. Medical care The finding of the NPM of 2012 and 2013, that the equipment and furniture in the prisons' MCs is sparse and does not meet the requirements to be available and correct medical equipment and furniture in the GP's surgery available, is still valid. The only exception are the prisons in the cities of Plovdiv and Sliven. All of them are supplied with medicines on a monthly basis as per an order in accordance with the contract concluded with "Sopharma Trading" AD. Prisoners use also medications purchased with their own personal funds for specific diseases which cannot be paid by the penitentiary system. Protection measures and social work As already noted, the focus of inspections held in 2014 was placed on protection measures and individual interviews with PDL; the annual accounts of the prisons; minutes of the committees on the enforcement of the sentences under Art. 73 of LESD and overall disciplinary practice in the system of enforcement of sentences. Therefore, in this annual report such issues will be discussed in more detail and to particular prisons. Prison - Pazardzhik In 2013 in the prison in the city of Pazardzhik 24 interruptions of enforcement of the sentences of PDL have been made. Of these, according to Art. 447 pt. 2 of the Criminal Procedure Code (for exceptional reasons of family or public nature) - 14, and in accordance with Art. 447 pt. 3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (due to a serious health condition of the convict) - 10. In 2013 8 meetings of the Committee on the enforcement of the sentences were held. Out of the 184 PDL meeting the formal requirements of Art. 70, para 1 of the Criminal Code (CC) for early conditional release (on parole) were proposed 46 PDL, and all were approved by the court. By decision of the Committee has been amended the regime of 107 PDL into lighter, and of 8 PDL - in more severe. 14
