Year Recommendation Report
2022When carrying out the risk and needs assessments and drawing up the resocialisation plans for detained persons with disabilities, mobility impairments and other impairments, their specific needs must be identified, taken into account and included in the resocialisation plans. The resocialisations plans have to be supplemented in view of the person’s apparent mobility difficulties, the individual’s state of health and their treatment or rehabilitation needs in order to achieve the convicted person’s defined resocialisation objectives and the tasks set for the next evaluation period. If the person is unable to attend the planned resocialisation activities because of their state of health or due to accessibility issues, there shall be no negative consequences for the person in question.
