- 67 126. The screening for injuries upon arrival was not properly carried out in any prison visited and was particularly poor at Korydallos Men’s Prison. For example, the prisoner referred to in paragraph 97 , who had been transferred from Trikala Prison, had still not been seen by the healthcare unit when he met the CPT’s delegation one week after his arrival at Korydallos Prison. The delegation was informed by medical staff in all prisons that newly arrived inmates were only asked whether they had any injuries, and that staff would not carry out a physical examination unless he/she expressly referred to the presence of injuries. A systematic physical examination is essential given that many inmates will be reluctant to speak of injuries they might have suffered; it may also help to detect other medical problems a new inmate might have. Even when injuries were detected, there was not a systemic forwarding of information to the relevant authorities outside of the prisons. The recording of injuries that inmates sustained in prison was generally not satisfactory and the delegation observed that no body-charts were used to indicate injuries. However, the delegation noted positively that health-care staff in many prisons indicated the explanations for the injury given by the inmate as well as any doubts they might have concerning this explanation. The CPT was pleased to note that, following one of its previous recommendations, specific registers for injuries and incidents of ill-treatment had been introduced in all prisons visited. 127. The CPT recommends that steps be taken in all establishments to ensure that the record drawn up after the medical examination of a prisoner – whether newly arrived or following a violent incident in the prison – contains: i) an account of statements made by the person concerned which are relevant to the medical examination (including his/her description of his/her state of health and any allegations of ill-treatment); ii) a full account of objective medical findings based on a thorough examination; iii) the doctor's observations in the light of i) and ii) indicating the consistency between any allegations made and the objective medical findings. Recording of the medical examination in cases of injuries should be made on a special form provided for this purpose, with “body charts” for marking injuries that will be kept in the medical file of the prisoner. If any photographs are made, they should be filed in the medical record of the person concerned. In addition, documents should be compiled systematically in the existing special trauma register. The results of every examination, including the above-mentioned statements and the doctor’s opinions/observations, should be made available to the prisoner and, upon request, to his/her lawyer. Further, the existing procedures should be reviewed in order to ensure that whenever injuries are recorded by a doctor which are consistent with allegations of ill-treatment made by a prisoner (or which, even in the absence of allegations, are indicative of ill-treatment), the report is immediately and systematically brought to the attention of the relevant prosecutor, regardless of the wishes of the person concerned.
