is a need for psychologists or counselors to offer psycho‐social support to the residents. j) The Educational Training Centre for Children functions as a foster home managed by the Ministry of Education. This centre focuses on children’s academic development and provides a nurturing environment. The Correctional Training Centre for Children targets juvenile delinquents and provides supportive training, life skills and guidance in order to minimize risky behaviour. l) Institutional capacity of personnel working at the penitentiary and MPS in managing detention centers needs to be more aligned with human rights best practices. The MPS is currently reviewing their procedural guidelines in this aspect. Police Integrity Commission is also currently working on developing a Standard Minimum Rules for Custodial. NPM has recommended MPS to establish a detailed disciplinary procedural guideline. m) Persons working with children, mentally ill and persons with disabilities lack the professional guidance and capacity to handle these groups of people. NPM found that limited personnel have undergone the basic training required to undertake the job at these places, both at contact level and management level. It is important that staff working in institutions where people are under state care receive intensive training as often torture takes place due to lack of knowledge and skills to manage situations and individuals by the service providers. 51. NPM also identified that in the detention context, there were incidents which posed threat to inherent dignity of the human being. Following incidents provides an insight into this. a) In 2009, some of the prisoners at Maafushi and Himmafushi jail were swiftly transferred to a hastily built temporary jail in Addu Atoll. The transfer process was alarming as during the long sea journey of 470km on a boat, prisoners were handcuffed and restrained, in view of any potential retaliation or possible escape and the transfer was not informed to the prisoners’ families. There were no Chapter: Article 7 – Prohibition of Torture & Article 10 –Conditions of Detention k) The 2011 Drug Act obligates authorities to establish effective after care programes. Drug rehabilitation service is provided through the rehabilitation centre in K. Hinmafushi Island. The rehabilitative model known as the Therapeutic Community Program is adequately implemented; however, it lacks an effective after‐care program. Therefore, the drug rehabilitation program requires a systemic approach, to be delivered through highly trained professionals, and implemented at a wider scope in order to meet the high number of drug users in the country. 26
