- 45 94. The CPT was also concerned to learn that appropriate action was not always taken in respect of persons admitted to prison on remand with visible injuries. Examples of failure by the prison authorities to bring such cases to the attention of the relevant prosecutor were found in Amfissa, Korydallos Men’s and Thessaloniki Prisons, even when the injuries concerned and related allegations had been noted in both the administrative and medical files. This inaction undermines the very safeguard against ill-treatment and impunity that a thorough medical examination of all newly admitted inmates can represent. The CPT recommends that: - - any signs of injury to a newly-arrived prisoner as well as relevant statements by the person concerned and the doctor’s conclusions (including as to the degree of consistency between the prisoner’s statement and the injuries observed) be duly recorded by the examining doctor; procedures be in place to ensure that whenever injuries are recorded which are consistent with allegations of ill-treatment made by the prisoner concerned (or which, even in the absence of an allegation, are clearly indicative of illtreatment), the record is systematically brought to the attention of the competent prosecuting authorities. The results of the examination should also be made available to the the prisoner concerned and his or her lawyer. Further, the introduction of a special register for cases of injuries identified by the medical examination on admission would constitute an important tool both for prison management and those responsible for external supervision. The CPT recommends that such a register be introduced at each prison. 95. The Committee’s delegation observed that inter-prisoner intimidation was a significant phenomenon in the various prison establishments visited. In many of the prisons visited, there was evidence of stronger groups of inmates being able to impose their will upon other prisoners. The number of violent incidents being brought to the attention of the prison management was not a good indicator of the underlying problem as it primarily took the form of threats of violence. Prisoners noted the absence of prison officers in the wings, observed the actions of the stronger groups of prisoners, and concluded that the prison management was not in a position to offer prisoners effective protection. Further, it was clear that prison management was willing to cede control of certain wings to particular groups of prisoners in return for maintaining a degree of order. An observant visitor walking through the rooms and wings at Amfissa, Chios, Korydallos Men’s or Patras Prisons would notice this phenomenon.
