symptoms). There were also situations when juveniles joined their educational group after three or five days. In all the centres, newly arrived juveniles, those brought back after escaping and those coming back from holidays stayed in separate areas or rooms. In two JECs292 newly admitted juveniles had to use a separate entrance to the building not to have contact with other people. The method of quarantine in three of the centres293 caused particular concern of the NMPT due to the doubts regarding the sufficient level of safety of the juveniles. At the JEC in Mrowiny, arriving juveniles were quarantined, usually for about 7 days. The juveniles stayed in the corridor of group II. The other juveniles or outsiders were not allowed to enter the corridor. The corridor was selected because of the coverage of the monitoring system. In the corridor there were beds for the juveniles, a TV set, a table and some chairs. The boys also had access to board games, playing cards, quiz games and some tasks to solve. These were delivered by the centre’s personnel. The educators did not stay in the rooms used for the quarantine. They were required to ensure the safety of the juveniles by using CCTV and observing the rooms through the glass doors. If it was necessary, the juveniles could knock on the doors to request the educators’ assistance. The juveniles were visited by a psychologist and an educator. They had their body temperature measured twice a day. The food was delivered in disposable packages, by a staff member. Those in contact with the quarantined juvenile (e.g. delivering meals or a telephone in the case of an incoming call) were required to wear protective equipment in the form of face masks. The educators also brought hand disinfectants to the juveniles. At the JEC in Łańcut, every newly admitted juvenile had to undergo a test and a 7-day quarantine. Usually, the juvenile stayed on the ground floor in one of the three medical isolation rooms (former transition rooms). These are single rooms with separate toilets. The room door remained open, and for the 7 days the juvenile could only go to the toilet. There were short visits by a psychologist who (keeping a distance), spoke with the juvenile. Meals were left at the door and then picked up by the juvenile. There was no TV or radio set, so the only activity was reading books. Some juveniles (who returned after a leave as required) could use their mobile phones (for one hour per day). At the time when many juveniles were coming back after their holidays or leaves, the three rooms turned out to be insufficient. Therefore, it was necessary to create a quarantine group similar to an educational group. The quarantine group was supervised by employees who were not on duty in the other groups. The boys were placed in 3- or 4-person rooms which they were not allowed to leave. Their body temperature was measured twice a day. They did not use the common room. In the bedrooms, they could have only the most necessary things (clothes, hygiene products).
