Police detention centres Ministry of the Interior referred in this context to the practice reported by the Police Department of Tyrol according to which it is possible for prisoners in Innsbruck police detention centre to have visits at the weekend and on public holidays too. On a follow-up visit in September 2019, the commission ascertained when viewing the visitor lists of the last three years that during this time there was not a single visit to a prisoner on a Saturday or Sunday. This observation will necessitate further examination by the NPM. Evaluation of implementation status The NPM initiated an ex-officio evaluation in May 2019 to determine the implementation status of all recommended detention enforcement standards since 2015. The sobering result is that, according to the Federal Ministry of the Interior, all of the standards have only been implemented in Vordernberg police detention centre. The Ministry did not take a stance on Innsbruck police detention centre due to the pending closure in 2020. Due to the alleged pending closure of Linz police detention centre in December 2019, the ministry refrained from reporting here also. Steyr police detention centre, which is due to be closed after the refurbishment work at Linz police detention centre has been completed, was also excluded. All cell types not available everywhere It was noticed while examining the information from the Federal Ministry of the Interior that all police detention centres have “normal” single cells (class 1); however, some have no security cells (class 2) or special security (padded) cells (class 3). According to the Ministry, neither the extension nor the conversion or a new construction is planned for the Eisenstadt and St. Pölten police detention centres. It can thus be deduced that there will be no class 2 and 3 cells there in the medium term. Table visits only possible in exceptions In addition to a general account of the police detention centres in which do and do not offer the possibility of long-term detention pending forced return, the Federal Ministry of the Interior reiterated that table visits are only possible on a regular basis in Vordernberg police detention centre, in the other police detention centres, however, only in exceptions. In line with the standards on occupational opportunities for the detainees adopted by the working group, the programmes foreseen in the decree are available without restrictions in Bludenz, Hernalser Gürtel and Roßauer Lände police detention centres according to the Federal Ministry of the Interior. Different occupational opportunity programmes 155 The Ministry reported about applications to subsequently equip Eisenstadt, Wels and Villach police detention centres with basketball baskets. These could not be installed in Klagenfurt, St. Pölten and Wiener Neustadt due to the low height of the yard. Balls and sports mats were not provided in Klagenfurt police detention centre because of the lack of usable space. A table football game is planned for Villach police detention centre in future.
