CONSOLIDATED REPORT
violated everywhere. Many
detained persons do not
believe in the effectiveness
of NPM and prosecutors
and, accordingly, do not
write complaints. According
to the persons detained,
any complaint is checked
by the administration and,
if necessary, for unknown
reasons, it may not reach the
addressee. According to the
verbal report received from
S. (cell No.615), complaints
do not reach the addressee,
there is no reaction from the
administration. According to
the verbal report received
from A. (cell No.119), A.
(cell No.405), complaints
about the administration,
the prosecutor’s office or
the court may simply not be
sent after the administration
has read them. Envelopes for
petitions or complaints to the
prosecutor or the court are
not provided. Each complaint
is read by the administration
and, after studying it, it
decides whether to send the
envelope or not. There is no
log of outgoing petitions
or complaints. These facts
are a significant violation of
Chapter 9 (“The procedure
77
for the submission of
proposals, petitions and
complaints of suspected and
accused persons”) of the
Internal Regulations of the
pre-trial detention centers
of the penitentiary system.
Article 85 states: “Proposals,
petitions and complaints
addressed to the prosecutor
or to the court are accepted
in a sealed envelope and are
not subject to censorship.
As they are submitted, they
are immediately sent to the
addressee”.
Detained persons reported
that a complaint against the
administration may adversely
affect the conditions of
detention, and, accordingly,
many of them are afraid to
submit complaints.
According to the suspects,
their complaints are simply
ignored by the administration.
Thus, the detainee M., born on
January 10, 1991, previously
convicted, repeatedly wrote
complaints addressed to
the head of the institution
regarding the conditions of
detention in the quarantine
department (the petition
stated that the bed clothes
