Prisons and preventive detention 1+1 visit to a prison and institution for preventive detention First visit to a preventive detention facility Visits focusing on forensic treatment in psychiatric hospitals were followed by visits to facilities implementing another protective measure – preventive detention. There are currently two institutions for preventive detention – one in Brno and one in Opava. In 2017, we visited the institution in Brno. Together with experts in the fields of psychology and psychiatry, we looked into the following issues: ―― nature of the therapeutic programmes and availa­ bi­lity of health care ―― ensuring internal security, use of coercive measures ―― composition of daily activities ―― regime measures The long-standing recommendations of the NPM regarding the prevention of ill-treatment can be found on page 22. 10 ―― contact with the outside world ―― availability and process of review of the reasons for continued detention
