of chess, checkers, football, basketball, table tennis, rugby; Staged performances; concerts and a variety of intelligent games - “What? Where? When?”,”Etalon,” poetry readings and meetings with clerics. These various programs and activities in the prison are
undoubtedly welcome, but it is necessary for all the programs and activities to be the
systematic nature and to be present in large numbers, especially in closed institutions.
As noted in the Parliamentary Report of 2014, although, the establishments N18 and
N19 are the medical centres, there are some sections where the prisoners are placed
for a long time, hence, it is important that these establishments implement certain activities. According to the information received from the establishments,116 both agencies
have taken steps towards the implementation of rehabilitation activities, although it is
necessary to offer the prisoners as much as possible, and a variety of programs and activities. Only one program was held at the establishment N18 throughout the year117 in
October/November and only 4 inmates participated. As for the activities carried out at
the establishment N19, please see the chart below.

Unfortunately no activities were reported at the establishment N6118 but for a tournament of chess and checkers. As for the establishments N7 and N9, during the year
prisoners were not allowed to engage in valuable, interesting activities for them. This
situation creates an unhealthy, stressful environment, which adversely affects the relationship of inmates and staff, as well as the order and security of the facility.
