| Prisons Regulations (Prisons Regulations, Subsidiary Legislation 260.03) | No specific remedies are available to detainees with regards to conditions in prison. Therefore, general remedies apply. The Appeals Tribunal reviews disciplinary cases decided by the Director for punishment and cases for non-award of remission. The disciplinary cases that may be reviewed relate to the removal of privileges, cellular confinement, reassignment of work and forfeiture of remission, amongst others. Furthermore, any prisoner may make a request or complaint to the Director of Prisons, to the Corradino Correctional Facility Monitoring Board, to the Minister for Home Affairs, or to petition the President of Malta, under confidential cover. Unconvicted prisoners shall be given facilities to contact a legal adviser of their choice and to apply, where necessary, for free legal aid. A prisoner may correspond with an advocate or legal procurator for the purpose of obtaining legal advice on matters other than those referred to in sub-regulation. |
