RECOMMENDATIONS

to security interests, accessibility of rehabilitation activities and contact with

regular penitentiary establishments;

persons are placed in single cells based on an adequately reasoned decision
taking into account the assessment of imminent risk posed by a particular convict, subject to review in reasonable intervals;

single cells are compensated by maintaining contact with the outside world,
accessibility of rehabilitation activities, library, and TV and radio; and
