- 77 Proactive measures need to be taken by the authorities to address the specific needs of foreign nationals, particularly to ensure that they do not suffer from discriminatory practices. The CPT’s delegation noted that some efforts were made in certain of the establishments visited to ensure foreign nationals had equal access to educational opportunities (such as at Larissa Prison). However, more needs to be done, including as regards attracting prison officers from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds to reflect the changing inmate population. In this context, the CPT would like to draw the attention of the Greek authorities to the Recommendation (2012)12 of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe concerning foreign prisoners.
