ANNUAL SPECIAL REPORT 2018 17 • Questionnaires, based on international standards, were prepared, distributed, anonymously completed and collected for further processing (Nafplio and Tripolis detention facilities, Rural adult Detention Facility in Tiryntha) In addition to a series of specific questions on detention conditions – concerning the sense of security, the potential for incidents of violence and access to specific benefits, services or activities, and post-release prospects – there is a space where a prisoner can add anything he or she wants. The response of the detainees has been rather positive. Thus, the NPM's sources of information on the conditions of detention were expanded, and the material collected was used in the framework of targeted interventions, while at the same time it helped in the constant re-evaluation of the form itself, in order to make it more targeted, focused, optimal. • In addition to open discussions with detainees, private interviews on separate spaces were organised (Detention Facility in Domokos, Rural adult Detention Facility in Tiryntha). • At schools in the special Juvenile rural Detention Facility in Kassaveteia Volos and in the Detention Facility in Corinth, the experts of the NPM talked to both students and teachers. iii. Investigations of deaths and incidences of violence Within the framework of its specific competence, the NPM has embarked on a series of contacts with the Ministry of Justice and the Detention Facilities in order to identify cases of deaths or injuries of detainees that reveal general prison matters with immediate implications for the detention conditions –such as security measures, staff adequacy, timely handling of special requests and emergency management– that could trigger ex officio interventions. The main objective of these interventions is the identification of systemic problems, which are obviously highlighted by the frequency and common, stereotypical characteristics of these incidents. In particular: Firstly, in cases of suicides or self-injuries of detainees, the NPM asks for the relevant documents of the conditions of detention of the particular person, including the location of detention, any presence of a fellow prisoner, the guard and the surveillance of this specific location and the conditions under which the incident occurred, the location and the time the service was alerted and the immediate measures adopted, whether there was sufficient time to act to prevent death or of injuries, any special requests made by the detainee, and whether there was an uncharacteristic change in his/ her behaviour that was noticed by the staff and what eventual measures were taken. Moreover, the NPM takes into consideration the psychological care given to detainees on their arrival at the facility and during their stay,
