Report on the Assessment of the Compliance of the Correction and Rehabilitation Centers in Palestine with International Prison Standards The inmate’s medical examination is carried out at the Military Medical Services and before his/her arrival to the CRC. Thus, the inmate is not examined upon entering the CRC by the CRC itself, according to international norms in this regard. • There is no clear policy on appointing a qualified medical specialist, since the medical specialist is appointed by the Military Medical Services, and neither the CRCD nor the police have a part to play in that. Also, there is no room for medical isolation inside the CRC. Although the medical specialist submits periodic reports to the prison administration about the quantity, quality and preparation of food, the extent to which the health and hygiene rules are followed at the CRC and its facilities, the state of sanitation facilities, heating, lighting and ventilation in the CRC, and the quality and cleanliness of the inmates’ clothes and their bed furnishings, he/she does not follow the extent of compliance with the rules related to physical and sports education, given the lack of a place for the exercise of these activities within the CRC. The CRC does not have health care guarantees for persons with disabilities. • Torture and the use of force: The Bethlehem CRC complies in an excellent manner with international standards for preventing the use of force against inmates and respecting their rights. • Procedures for receiving detainees/inmates: The Bethlehem CRC complies well with international standards for procedures for receiving inmates and enabling them to be accommodated in a smooth manner, except with regard to avoiding overcrowding and ensuring a moderate living space for the inmates due to the conditions of the building. Not every inmate receives his own bed with his supplies because there were 20 inmates without beds at the time of assessment, but the CRC guarantees a reasonable amount of cleaning the sheets and bed furnishings according to a specific schedule. There is no official uniform for inmates. Inmates with disabilities are also granted a reasonable amount of facilities during their reception, commensurate with the nature of the disability, although there is no policy for that. • Detention conditions: The Bethlehem CRC provides good detention conditions for inmates in terms of meals, hours of exposure to the sun, INDEPENDENT COMMISSION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS 35
