Further, the CPT reiterates its recommendation that all autopsies comply with the Council of Europe Recommendation on Harmonisation of Medico-Legal Autopsy Roles. The CPT would also like to be provided with a copy of the protocols in place to identify and manage persons identified as being at risk of self-harming or attempting to commit suicide within the Hospital. 38. The importance of carrying out an effective investigation into each death in custody has been reiterated on many occasions by the European Court of Human Rights when examining Article 2 ECHR cases. In January 2020, the Chief Prosecutor to the Cassation Court of Greece issued a Circular14 setting out the duties of prosecutors to carry out an effective investigation into deaths in custody. The supervisory prosecutor’s role in prisons to order an autopsy and carry out a review of the circumstances of the death as the chair of the Disciplinary Board was reiterated. As stated above, this process must be strengthened. The Circular also references the duty of the Misdemeanor Prosecutor to carry out a criminal preliminary investigation which should be completed diligently within a nine-month period of the death (Article 243 .3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure). The CPT wishes to be provided with details of the investigations undertaken by the Misdemeanor Prosecutor for the deaths which occurred in the Korydallos Prison Complex during 2021. It also wishes to be informed about any further measures that are envisaged to ensure that Greece abides with its Article 2 obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights in carrying out an effective investigation into deaths in prison. g. discipline 39. The provisions of the 1999 Prison Law, as amended in 2022, dealing with disciplinary sanctions and procedures remain unchanged and have been described in previous reports.15 As regards more particularly the sanction of disciplinary confinement, it may not exceed 10 days (five days for remand prisoners). These provisions apply to patients and prisoners held in the Hospital. According to the registers there had been 46 disciplinary incidents in 2022 (up to the end of October), 95 in 2021 and 117 in 2020, which also included the recording of deaths and any discoveries of illicit items. In 2022, a disciplinary punishment of solitary confinement had only been imposed on two prisoners for five days each for attacking another person. These two persons had subsequently been transferred out of the Hospital, as had other persons who had been charged with violent acts. Most of the recorded disciplinary offences concerned prisoners transferred to the Hospital for work or patients who were considered to be less unwell. The mental state of the patient was taken into account when considering any disciplinary punishment and the delegation found that this was applied in practice. Overall, the disciplinary system was applied fairly and proportionately and the zero tolerance towards violent acts in the Hospital was appropriate. h. contacts with the outside world and information on rights 40. Patients were entitled to receive visits every week for a minimum period of half an hour as set out in Article 52 of the Prison Law. The CPT considers that it was a missed opportunity not to amend this provision to provide all prisoners with a minimum period of one hour for visits when the revised Prison Law was adopted in October 2022. Patients could access the card telephones located in the corridors on each floor throughout the day. For those patients with no funds, a phone card was provided once a month by the social workers. 14.
