9
and young detainees (as provided in art. 6 of the draft Presidential Decree 180 places are reserved for males,
10 for women and 10 for young offenders).
As regards the practice of placing prisoners in various prisons as workers, it is based on the
legislative framework and especially law no. 2776/1999 "Correctional Code" (Governmental Gazette A'
291) and Presidential Decree 107/2001 "Beneficial Calculation of Days for detainees working or employing
in programs or studies "(A' 97), as in force. Every prison has a specified number of placements for workers,
as defined by Ministerial Orders. Accordingly, Korydallos Prison Psychiatric Hospital has ninety-two (92)
official working positions (Ministerial Order nr. 44833/6-5-2011). On April 2018 when the CPT's delegation
visited Korydallos Prison Psychiatric Hospital, sixty-two (62) detainees were placed as workers according to
the official register book of the prison and each one of them was officially detained there as prisoner with a
diagnosed mental illness, under regular monitoring by the prison psychiatrists and receiving psychiatric
medication. Due to responsibility linked to some of the working positions, a number of prisoners with minor
psychopathology but high functionality may be placed there.
The draft Presidential Decree stipulates that a number of places for prisoners with mental issues
placed as workers may remain at the Korydallos Prison Psychiatric Hospital, following a reassessment by
the medical staff, which would provide an outcome as for the number of places that could be covered by
patients as part of their inpatient treatment or those that would be covered by prisoners with high
functionality (art. 10 draft Presidential Decree).
As regards paragraph 61:
According to art: 2 para 1 (d) and 6 of the draft Presidential Decree, a special unit for female prisoners with a
maximum capacity of 10 female detainees will be located in a designated area either of the Korydallos
Prison Psychiatric Hospital or of the Department for Women of Korydallos Prison (already named
Korydallos Il Prison). As regards young detainees who, according to the correctional legislation, are young
inmates aged 18-21 years old (and in case they attend educational programmes until 25 years of age), they
will be placed in a designated area of the Korydallos Prison Psychiatric Hospital (special dormitory or cells)
so that they are not held with older inmates and not a specific unit is envisaged, Finally, juvenile detainees
(aged below 18) which are held in Korinth Prison it is not planned that they will be hospitalized in
Korydallos Prison Psychiatric Hospital, but that they will receive adequate treatment in cooperation with
specialized units of the National Health System.
As regards paragraph 62:
By the daily order of 5-6-2018, the Head of Korydallos Prison Psychiatric Hospital requested the
fully attention and cooperation of all the staff of Hospital's departments for taking the best care of the
prisoners detained in the Hospital.
As regards paragraph 63:
The Ministry has been in close cooperation with the competent departments of Korydallos Prison
Psychiatric Hospital for improving the Hospital's material conditions. As a result, the provision of
necessary funds for better material conditions constitutes an absolute priority for our Ministry.
