During the visits, particular attention was paid to the living conditions of persons held in these institutions, their food provision, and access to medical care.

In addition, the condition of detention cells and medical rooms at the facilities, the operation of video surveillance systems, the procedures for conducting personal searches, and the facilities’ preparedness for the winter season were examined.

During the monitoring, appeals received through the “Ombudsman’s Mailboxes” installed at these institutions were also reviewed.

It should be noted that, based on the findings of monitoring visits conducted by the Ombudsman to prevent torture, analytical reports are prepared. In particular, appropriate response measures are submitted to the relevant ministries and agencies concerning shortcomings identified during the monitoring process.
