• The publication of Presidential Decree 100/2018 on the inclusion of
the Korydallos Prison Health Centre in the National Health System,

after assuming its NPM competence15. However, both of the executive acts to assist the new regulation and the introduction of similar
arrangements for the prison psychiatrist are pending.
Finally, the working group on reform of the various provisions creating barriers in our legal system to occupational rehabilitation of persons under
conviction or even pre-trial detention or under prosecution, which was
established by the Ministry of Justice following successive interventions of
the Ombudsman16, completed and published its work in a special edition
under the title "Invisible punishments. European dimension – Greek perspective”. The NPM observes a positive development in identifying all relevant
obstacles and expects the continuation and achievement of the reform of
the relevant legislation. ●
