A new framework of internal prison inspection presented in Ukraine

The new framework of internal prison inspection was presented to the senior officials of the State Penitentiary Service of Ukraine (SPSU) and the Heads and Deputies of pilot prisons heads in Kyiv on 23 September 2015.

A feasible European model was proposed. Initial examples on inspection standards offered and their development tested in a group. Next steps for standards development were agreed – establishment of a wider Working Group on internal prison inspections and prisoners’ complainants involving the Heads of pilot prisons, SPSU senior managers on inspection issues and external partners.

This work is undertaken in the framework of the joint project of the European Union and the Council of Europe, “Further Support for Penitentiary Reform in Ukraine”: Strengthening procedures and practices for internal prison inspections and handling of prisoners’ complaints.
