sistance from the European Union, the handbook on the rights of the accused/convicted juveniles was updated and published. The social workers of the establishment were provided with two trainings for the juvenile inmates on the topic of “the Rights of the Juvenile Convicts” in the institution N11. Nevertheless, still problematic is provision of the information on their rights and responsibilities to the accused/convicts. It is necessary to provide the juvenile prisoners with the information regarding their rights and responsibilities in a language they understand. It is possible to temporarily transfer the juvenile accused/convict to another institution based on the order of the Director of the Penitentiary Department only if it is necessary for the security of that inmate or the other juvenile.200 In 2015, due to the security reasons, based on the secret letter of the Director of the Penitentiary Department, 12 convicts were transferred to the facilities N2 and N8. It is noteworthy that none of them were subjected to the disciplinary sanctions. During the conversation with the trustees of the Public Defender, the juvenile convicts have repeatedly noted that they were not aware of the reason of their transfer. In addition, no concrete term is determined for the transfer of the juveniles. It should be noted that all convicts transferred to the facility N2 due to the security reasons, were registered in the school and were involved in the educational process. One of the juveniles was registered to pass the school-leaving examinations (CAT), however, the juveniles’ unit of the penitentiary establishment N2 was not informed of this and therefore, the convict was not given the possibility to pass the exams. It is worth noting that the transfer to the penitentiary establishment N2 and N8 significantly impedes the rehabilitation process of the convicts. In the rehabilitation process of the juvenile convicts their involvement in the rehabilitation and educational activities bears special importance. The educational process in the establishments N2 and N8 only ensures the continuity of education, while rehabilitation activities are not as diverse as in the rehabilitation institution for the juveniles. Positively should be noted that in 2015, disciplinary sanctions were not used against the juvenile convicts. As for the incentives, for the good behavior and involvement in the rehabilitation acitivities, gratitude was announced to 42 convicts, which constitutes a positive practice that should be continued and strengthened. The juveniles should observe the personal hygiene and the establishment should ensure them with the necessary means.201 The UN Rules for the protection of juveniles specify that authorities of an institution are responsible for providing juveniles with clothing 200 Juvenile Justice Code, Article 89. 201 Recommendation (2008) 11 of the Committee of Ministers to the Member States of the European Rule for Juvenile Offenders Subject to Sanctions or Measures, Article 65.4, available in English at: https://wcd.coe.int/ViewDoc.jsp?id=1367113&Site=CM [Last Visited on15.03.2016]. 130 NATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM (NPM), 2015
