Along with all routine sports and cultural events in the prison the following specialized programmes take place: "Communication and aggressive behaviour"; "The programme for working with violent offenders"; "Dealing with the problems of life through change of thinking"; "Formation of communication and social skills" and "Shortterm programme of work with drug addicts." As weakness in the social work and educational work with PDL in this prison as well - as accounted by the administration alone, is the lack of adequate premises for such type of activities. Systemic overpopulation over the recent years has imposed the need for retrofitting the clubs in bedrooms. As from 2013 a positive trend in the imposition of punishments is accounted. In 2013 their number was by 156 less than in 2012, when 590 orders for disciplinary offences committed were issued. For the last three years the Committee under Art. 73 of LESD had no significant differences in their activities. In 2013, for release on parole were proposed 84 PDL; the regime was replaced in heavier pursuant to art. 62, para 1 of LESD in the cases of 22 PDL; in the lighter under art. 66, para 1 of LESD - for 219 PDL. 219 PDL have been transferred to an institution of lighter regime. The total number of PDL with awards was 1658. Positive is also the fact tat the increase in the number of the award "extended visit for up to four hours": 2010 - 60 PDL; 2011 - 147 PDL; 2012 - 197 PDL; 2013 - 233 PDL. Other award which is applied more widely, is "visit by relatives outside the prison for a period of 12 hours": 2010 - 5 PDL; 2011 - 10 PDL; 2012 - 31 PDL; 2013 - 105 PDL. Until 26th April 2014, the disciplinary practices in the prison demonstrates that the number of PDL awarded was 489, and to 142 PDL were imposed penalties. In 2012, there were 34 cases of use of force and aids, and in 2013 - 20. For each of these cases the relevant memorandum has been drawn up and the Regional Prosecutor's Office - Stara Zagora has been notified. In 2013, there were no cases of admitted escapes from the prison and the PDOT. There were also no cases of deviations from the external worksites and prisoners that never came back from suspension of punishment. A single non-return from home leave of PDL in PD "Galabovo" has been registered and subsequently it has been found that this had happened due to exceptional reasons of family nature. The number of complaints and signals in 2013 was 1121, in 2012 - 1839, in 2011 - 1236, and for 2010 it was 1240, i.e. a tendency to reducing them was established. Worrying to the experts of the NPM is the fact that in this prison once again was found a detention of a person over the period of punishment designated by the court. In this case it also comes to lately determined total punishment. During the inspection in 2014 were conducted eight interviews with PDL They did not put down significant complaints related to problems in the prison that have not been found by the NPM. The interviews had mostly the nature of consultation in relation to serving the sentences themselves by the PDL. Prison - Varna During the visit to the prison in the city of Varna in 2012 in the corpus were accommodated 683 PDL, in PD "Varna" - 48 individuals, and in PD "Razdelna" - 130. In 2013 the total number of PDL in the prison was 653 persons, distributed as follows: in the prison - 459 PDL, in PD "Varna" - 39 PDL, in PD "Razdelna" - 155 PDL. The number of defendants was 21, and of the accused - 64. The trend of prison overcrowding continues in 2014. As at the time of the inspection of the NPM (July 2014) the total number of prisoners in the Varna Prison was 618, of which: defendants - 11; accused - 31; sentenced - 576. The number of the 20
