For example, in the week before the delegation’s visit, one prisoner was attacked in the admissions department (Pavilion I) by several inmates and ended up in hospital with inter alia a broken nose; another prisoner, who suffered from epilepsy, displayed injuries to his back consistent with having been hit with a long hard object allegedly while he was having a seizure[3]. Other incidents included six prisoners sewing together their lips, two prisoners undertaking a roof-top protest, and one prisoner attempting to hang himself. An examination of the ‘Book of Incidents’ indicated that such a series of events was relatively typical. Further, gangs continue to control significant parts of Zenica Prison, rendering life for other prisoners particularly dangerous and disagreeable, through the use of threats of violence, protection rackets and drug dealing (Bosnia si Herzegovina, 2009)
The three restraint beds were located in a room at the end of the corridor in Sector A of the Nuovo Reparto unit. Fixed to the floor, these beds had a foam mattress with a rubber cover and a central opening allowing patients to relieve themselves when necessary. A bucket to collect the excrement was positioned under the opening in question. The patients were attached to the bed with cotton straps; those used to secure their hands were sewn in place around the wrists with a big needle that resembled an upholsterer's needle. The straps at the wrists and ankles[85] and the chest band were never removed, not even at meal times. In consequence, a nurse hand-fed the patient. Furthermore, the patient was not washed during the whole period of his restraint. In addition, he stayed fixed to the bed, wearing just a vest; the lower half of his body was naked and covered only with a sheet. (Italy, 2009)
The entrance to the dormitories was equipped with barred gates which were shut at night, thereby restricting patients’ access to the toilet and obliging them to urinate in bottles. The CPT recommends that steps be taken to ensure that patients in the FPU have ready access to a proper toilet at all times, including at night. (Montenegro, 2009)
