Remarks on Assessment Results
•
Administration of the CRC: The Hebron CRC complies well with
international standards for prison administration in terms of having
documented policies, directives and instructions about the CRC’s administration. There is a clear deficit in the compatibility of the ratio of
staff to inmates, which is 25%, and the situation is exacerbated by the
aging of the building and the inability to use technological means for
monitoring inside the CRC. There is an absence of a clear and documented system for managing the vocational rehabilitation facilities
available at the CRC, in addition to the fact that the CRC is not qualified for the receipt and presence of persons with disabilities, including
staff, inmates and visitors. In addition, there is no policy that limits the
number of working hours for inmates, because working in all CRCs is
a privilege and is not binding.
•
CRC staff: There is no system or specific standards for incentives and
penalties that govern the CRC staff, in addition to the absence of any
additional financial compensation compared with the rest of the police
members or an allowance for the nature of work. In addition, there are
no clear or written criteria for appointing staff at CRCs and no staff
with disabilities have been appointed according to the known percentages.
•
Healthcare guarantees for inmates: The Hebron Rehabilitation Center guarantees a limited degree of health care guarantees for inmates,
especially in light of the lack of a permanent general physician at the
CRC (5 days a week). The nurse is also non-resident and works 5 days
a week (8 hours a day). Dental services are also provided two days a
week only. The psychiatrist is available for a period of one day only
every week. The pharmacy is located inside the general medicine room
and the tools necessary to equip the clinics are not available, old or
derelict.
