warehouse, the rooms where food, clothes and bedding are stored and install
additional racks as part of the actions to be taken in the Prison.
In the letter it is stated that it is not reasonable to perform capital
construction works at present to produce a new food storehouse, additional
visit rooms and waiting rooms outside the establishment as a new prison
complex meeting modern standards is under construction in Umbaku
settlement.
Another issue raising concerns about the establishments of the PS is that
the floors of convicts’ dormitories in some PIs are still made of concrete.
Based on the facts observed in PIs No.1, 2, and 17, it can be noted that such a
case negatively affects the heating of those rooms and convicts’ health.
The conditions in PIs No.8 and 11 are not satisfactory either and we deem
it necessary to conduct repair works in those establishments as well. During
the visit to PI No.11 it was found out that because the roof of the second floor
of the building where 2nd group was placed was unfit, when it was raining,
water was leaking onto the beds where convicts were sleeping.
The Commissioner has appealed to the MJ in connection with each of the
above mentioned cases.
In the received response it is stated that the MJ has reviewed submitted
proposals and recommendations. It has come out that the PS and MJ Head
Medical Office will address the issues of covering the floors of the dormitories
of PI No.1 with wood and providing the Medical-Sanitary Unit with new
dental inventory in 2011.
During the long visit carried out to PI No.2 it was determined that in
winter electric heaters are used to heat dormitories and other facilities because
the establishment is not provided with natural gas. It has also been determined
that the relevant areal doctor expert commissions create obstacles for disabled
convicts in receiving a primary grade of disability.
The Commissioner has appealed to the MJ in this regard. In the received
response it is stated that the coating of the floor of dormitory No.4 of PI No.2
with a wooden cover has already been started. Depending on the availability of
financial resources, this work, phase-by-phase, will be implemented in other
dormitories as well. Though the establishment concerned was provided with
some liquid gas by the Khazar District Gas Exploitation Station, since June
