The NPM recommends that the Government continue to pursue
this practice and also that it transfer female inmates as needed
and as early as possible to Austrian corrections facilities.
d) Inmates with mental disorders:
Already last year, the NPM discussed how the National Prison must
increasingly deal with inmates with mental disorders for whom the
National Prison is not a suitable institution to offer professional care.
During the annual exchange, the Senior Advisors of the Government
informed the NPM that a working group has now been appointed to
deal with this problem, in order to ensure professional placement
and care of persons with mental disorders.
The NPM welcomes the clarifications in this regard and looks
forward to receiving the working group's final report in the near
future.

On 15 December 2016, the NPM paid an announced visit to the St. Martin
House of the Liechtenstein Elderly and Care Service in Eschen. This visit
lasted from about 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and included an in-depth
discussion
with
