40 I also objected to the detention practice under which families with small children were escorted to the medical examination by four-five armed guards even inside the building,; furthermore, around ten male guards used to gather at the exit to the courtyard, which had an intimidating effect especially on the children. Despite the presence of uniformed guards equipped with handcuffs, baton and tear gas spray even at the activities organized for the children in the playroom, nobody complained about abuse or impolite remarks. In my report on the visit I requested the Chief of the National Police Headquarters and the Director-General of the Office of Immigration and Nationality to take the necessary measures to ensure that the proportion of women in the security personnel of places of detention designated for accommodating couples and families with small children should reach 30% as a minimum, and that detained foreigners should be escorted to the medical examination and their clothes should be checked by security personnel of the same sex, and children’s activities should be supervised by female members of the security staff. I also asked the Director General of the Office of Immigration and Nationality to procure the facilities necessary for satisfying the needs of children deprived of their liberty. 9.1.2.2. Children in the Central Prison Hospital Fully-equipped hospital service should be provided to persons deprived of their liberty, “in either a civil or prison hospital”.114 In Hungary, medical and prophylactic services corresponding to the convicted persons’ state of health are provided primarily by either the penitentiary institution where they are detained or by the Central Prison Hospital (hereinafter the “Hospital”). Medical treatment is conducted in four specialized (Internal Medical, Surgical, Obstetrical-Gynecological and Pulmonological), closed wards of the Inpatient Department. In addition to the aforementioned wards, the institution also has a Diagnostics Ward (hereinafter the “DW”) treating detainees sent to the Hospital as outpatients in order to be examined by specialists. The Hospital’s capacity is 297 patients; at the time of the visit there were 194 adults, including a Romanian, a Portuguese and a Nigerian national, treated in the institution. Among them, 30 persons were treated in the Gynecological Ward, 34 in the Surgical, 44 in the Pulmonological and 57 in the Internal Medical Wards. There were 26 patients in the DW, three persons were treated in another hospital, and there was one person confined to the disciplinary unit. At the time of the visit, there were no juvenile convicts115 in the Hospital; however, there were two infants in the Obstetrical-Gynecological Ward. I expressed my objection to the wards’ doors being closed around the clock, which is disadvantageous to patients sentenced to minimum security prison, since, while in the Hospital, they have to suffer more stringent restrictions on their mobility than those ordered by the court sentencing them to a minimum security prison. The condition and equipment of the wards, the hygiene conditions and, in particular, the washing facilities provided to the patients were far below the standards prescribed for institutions See Clause 36 of CPT/Inf (93) 12 In accordance with Section 82, Paragraph 1 of the Penal Execution Code, "convicts in juvenile penitentiary who are over eighteen but have not reached yet twenty-one years of age shall also be treated as juveniles". 114 115
