The Ministry of Justice should thoroughly discuss the establishment of evaluation mechanisms to determine the possibility of re-offending, and strengthen community support (for those with and without physical or mental disabilities) in order to meet the intent of establishing a sound social security net. 69. The correctional institutions fail to investigate the medical records of inmates with disabilities with due diligence to serve in categorization of disability and provide reasonable accommodation. There is also no referral mechanism to obtain the inmates’ medical records before they were detained, and the psychiatric assessment information available at trial is also not passed on to the prisons/detention centers. As such, no mitigating treatment can be provided to them in a timely manner, and it is not until the outbreak of their disabilities (e.g. mental disability) that they can be diagnosed conclusively. Clearly, this is at odds with the intent of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and Taiwan’s own human rights-related statements. 70.

As a result, the person becomes a ticking time bomb, putting social safety in peril. The government could, based on the systems and evidence-based examples in Germany or Japan, evaluate the possibility for the establishment of judicial mental hospitals equipped with secure facilities and manpower to guard special and high-risk criminals with mental disabilities, or to manage dangerous patients with mental disabilities, proportionate to the danger. Upon investigation and subsequent follow-up by the Control Yuan, the Ministry of Justice amended the Directions for Prosecuting Apparatus’ Execution of Custody of Inmates with Mental Disability or Mental Deficiency on March 17, 2020, in order to strengthen their management of core cases. It also worked with the Ministry of Health and Welfare to develop diversified detention centers and intermediate treatment centers and consider special treatment for those who require it.

All inmates in correctional institutions are required to participate in work activities unless otherwise specified by law or for reasons such as illness or being under rehabilitation. Notwithstanding, statistics show that a total of 35,758 (58.4%) prisoners (or detainees) in 45 correctional institutions throughout the country are engaged in subcontracted processing work, but earn very low monthly income. (The highest average monthly remuneration for the subcontracted processing work, NT$5,821, is paid in Zihciang Minimum33
