At the end of March 2020, the director of the centre issued an instruction which contained the following recommendations: • starting from 27/03/2020 until further notice, new tasks are assigned to the educators on duty at the JEC in Renice with regard to the quarantined juveniles; • the educator monitors the juvenile under quarantine, and delivers meals in disposable packages to his room door. He takes the juvenile to the toilet and to the bathroom by opening the doors leading to the separate wing of the building. He supplies medicines to the juvenile if needed. During such activities, the educator is wearing protective clothing (gloves and a face mask; the items are available at the educators’ room) and keeps a safe distance. The educator does not enter the rooms used by the juvenile who is quarantined; • the teacher who is the juvenile’s school class teacher delivers lunch to the juvenile. The quarantine place was one of the building’s corridors, where beds and a TV set were placed. The director of the facility purchased and installed cameras to monitor the corridor. The juveniles were staying by themselves during the quarantine. The educator on duty could monitor the corridor from the educators’ room by watching the camera image. Twice a day, the educator checked the quarantined boys’ temperature. The food was delivered in disposable packages, by the educator or other juveniles. Those in contact with the quarantined juveniles (e.g. those who delivered meals or a telephone in the case of an incoming call) were required to wear protective equipment in the form of gloves and a face mask. The educators also brought hand disinfectants to the juveniles who could only use them in the presence of the educator or other staff member. Most of the interviewed juveniles did not report any problems with contacting the educator when needed. In such situations, they had to knock on the door and the educator would come to the room. However, two boys reported that they had to wait for over an hour for anyone to appear (despite them knocking on the door and waving to the camera). The boys also said they once had to wait to use the toilet, which was outside the "quarantine zone." Other juveniles and the centre director informed the delegation that the toilet and the bathroom were within the quarantine zone. However, the text of the above instruction shows that the bathroom and the toilet were in fact located at a different place than the quarantine zone. In the opinion of the NMPT, "remote supervision” does not ensure the safety of juveniles and, moreover, poses a risk to their health and life. It is not difficult to imagine the consequences of a delayed reaction of staff in the event of a juvenile's sudden health deterioration (e.g. fainting or injury), or a conflict or aggression between the juveniles. Such remote supervision, in extreme cases, may even result in a juvenile’s death. 109
