Para. 96 – Minors’ situation in Iaşi prison
In the prison system, the persons against whom the measure of confinement in a
prison was applied are under custody and perform activities separately from the
persons convicted to imprisonment punishments, to whom specific norms are
applied as according to their category. For this category, the administration of Iaşi
Penitentiary allocated the E9 section.
At the time of the SPT visit, within E8 (maximum security) section, there was a
section for the minors in transit (for a period of maximum 10 days), in order for
them to be presented before the courts. Following the SPT recommendations, the
minors in transit were reallocated within section E9.
Para. 97 – Reviwing the classification system of detainees into different regimes
In a legal sense, by serving sentences regime we refer to the total number of rules,
rights, obligations, programs and activities aiming at a good cohabitation in order
to encourage behaviours, attitudes and abilities which could influence the social
reintegration of inmates. The imprisonment punishments are executed in one of
the following regimes: maximum security, closed, semi-open and open.
The applicable legal norms set up a progresive and regresive system of serving
sentences, the inmates having the possibility to move from one to the other,
according to law. The progressive system means that the person moves from an
executional regime to a lesser severe one and the regressive one means that
he/she moves to a more severe executional regime.
In each penitentiary, a commission for establishing, individualization and changing
the regime of execution of custodial sentences is set up, consisting of: the director
of the prison, who is also chairman of the commission, the head of department or
of the office for the application of the regimes and the head of the education
department or office or the head of the psycho-social assistance department or
office. The Commission for establishing, individualization and changing the serving
of sentence regime carries on its activity, as a rule, once a week.
The serving of sentence regime is established by the above mentioned commission,
at its first meeting, after the completion of the period of quarantine and
observation or after the application of the provisional regime. When determining
the regime of execution the following criteria are considered:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
the duration of the custodial sentence;
the risk level of the convicted person;
the criminal record;
the age and health condition of the convicted person;

programmes;
g) the availability of the convicted person to perform work and to participate in

activities, moral-religious, school education and professional training activities.
Changing the serving of sentence regime is ordered by the same commission.
