Code of Execution of Sentences (Bausmių vykdymo kodeksas) | Convicted detainees may be placed in solitary confinement, i.e. isolated from other detainees, for up to 48 hours when there is a threat to a detainee’s health or life, also when a detainee is committing gross violations which cannot be prevented by other means and the detainee must be isolated. This is a preventive and protective, rather than a disciplinary measure. It cannot be extended beyond a maximum of 48 hours. Convicted detainees may also be temporarily moved from dormitory to cell-type premises as disciplinary action for systemic or gross violations of the detention institution’s regime. Adults may be moved to the cell-type premises for up to 30 days, and children for up to 5 days. |
