The HC has the necessary medical premises and equipment. There are no problems with the medical products supply. The Prison in the city of Plovdiv is one of the few penitentiary facilities, which as of 2015, managed to compile full medical staff. 1.5. Education of the PDL, who would like that, is in the schools at the prisons in Vratsa, Pazardzhik and Stara Zagora. The traditional problems in the social work continue in 2015 as well – lack of sufficient number of premises for group work; lack of methodical cabinet; irregular material support. During the inspection in Plovdiv prison in 2015 NPM experts conducted nineteen interviews with DLP. The main problems shared by the DLP are related to court proceedings and the subsequent re-socialization of the DPL and mainly finding a job. 1.6. In its report from 2014 NPM established that: „There is no full staff number of “Social work and correctional activities” inspectors, as well as a “Probation” inspector”. There was also a problem with the medical personnel and the employees from the supervisory-security staff (SSS). At the end of 2014 ten trainee prison-guards were appointed but for the same period nine SSS employees resigned. The incomplete employee staff and the lack of suitable technical equipment correspond directly with the problems with security in the prison. In this respect, NPM once again draws the attention of the management of the Ministry of Justice to the fact that the lack of financial means is not an argument when it comes to security in the penitentiary facilities. Besides, SSS employees shall be provided with the necessary modern scanners, metal detectors and auxiliary means. 1.7. As of 13.01.2015, as usual, there are unpaid debts to the amount of one hundred and sixty thousand nine hundred sixty-eight levs. In the reply to the last year NPM report received from the MoJ regarding the finding concerning the obsolete boiler of SEPP, used for water heating for the prison, it was stated that: “The boiler uses solid fuel but is efficient and there is no need to be replaced.” (p. 6-7). In the prison report for 2014, however, it is stated that the boiler is “old and inefficient” (p. 21), which corresponds to the current observations of NPM. Therefore, NPM once again recommends the replacement of the boiler. NPM once again points out the necessity to replace the auxiliary means – handcuffs, as well as to purchase metal detectors and a scanner. THE PRISON IN ITHE CITY OF BURGAS 1.1. The prison in the city of Burgas remains with the worst conditions and overpopulation in the entire penitentiary system in Bulgaria. NPM once again points out that the problems with the old premises and overpopulation can be partially solved by the construction of the new prison hostel in the region of Debelt. At this stage, the actions in this direction are extremely slow. The capacity of the prison building is for two hundred forty-four DLP, while during the last years the persons accommodated are a lot above the capacity. In 2013 in the prison and the hostels to it were accommodated one thousand ninety-seven DPL, while the total capacity is four hundred forty-six DPL, and in 2014 – seven hundred and ninety DPL, which marks a decline. At the time of the inspection the total number of inmates accommodated in the prison amounted to seven hundred sixty-three DPL, and as of December 2015 – seven hundred thirty-three. All previous findings of NPM regarding bedding inventory for DPL, access to restroom in the night, the condition of the restroom premises themselves, the shortage of hygiene products and other are still valid. 32
