were maintained via an internal telephone. Meals were left at the doors and the trays were taken inside by one of the boys. To use the toilet, the juvenile had to press the call button or to knock on the door to call a staff member to take him there. The juveniles could take a bath every day. The staff members and the juveniles wore face masks when being together. During the 7 days of the separation the juveniles did not go out and did not get any fresh air. They had no radio or television sets in the rooms. The educators brought cards and board games for the juveniles who had to fill their time by themselves. Nobody visited them except the educators. The reason was the director’s intention to protect both the juveniles and the employees. Many of the juveniles reported they were bored. There were cases in which they were allowed to stay in the common room and watch TV, but this was a very rare practice. There were single cases where the isolation lasted for as many as 14 days. For the first 7 days, the juveniles could stay only in their bedrooms, and for the next 7 days they could leave their bedrooms but not meet with anyone from outside their quarantine group. Juveniles returning after the summer holidays on the pre-set date could use their mobile phones (which were made available to them at specific hours). It should be emphasized that the practice of "remote" monitoring of the juveniles was used at that time. Until mid-September 2020, the educators did not enter the quarantine rooms but were required to ensure the safety of the juveniles by using CCTV and observing the rooms through the glass doors. After the night from 6 to 7 September 2020 (the night of the death of a juvenile from the quarantine group, described in the next chapter), the night shift regulations were changed. Starting from that day, the employees were required to enter the juveniles’ rooms at night (every half hour between 10.00 p.m. and 1.00 a.m., and every hour between 1.00 a.m. and 6.00 a.m.) with a torch to check their condition. The director of the centre also introduced the requirement to keep the Bedrooms monitoring logbook, in which the dates and hours of the monitoring are recorded. The entries are verified against the CCTV recordings. The practice of "remote" monitoring of the quarantined juveniles was also used at the Juvenile Educational Centre in Renice. The facility director designated a separate unused wing of the building to be used for quarantine at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. He did it in consultation with the authority by which the JEC is operated294 and in line with the recommendations of the Ministry of National Education, the Education Development Centre in Warsaw and the Education Authority in Szczecin. An additional monitoring system was installed to supervise the safety of the juveniles in that part of the building. The juveniles on quarantine did not leave the wing, their body temperature was monitored and their health status was monitored. The staff members provided cleaning agents and bags into which the disposable meal containers were put. During the quarantine, the juveniles were not allowed to go outside the centre, or for a walk inside it. 294 Myślibórz Poviat Administration Office. 108
