The National Preventive Mechanism (NPM) issued a comprehensive statement on June 26, 2026, detailing significant deficiencies within the national incarceration system for the year 2025. The NPM’s 15th statement highlighted systemic issues regarding the physical and operational conditions in which persons deprived of liberty are held. According to the report, the facility system is currently experiencing considerable strain, marked by a general lack of necessary supplies and inadequate living conditions.
A primary concern detailed by the NPM was the neglect of timely and appropriate healthcare services. Furthermore, the report pointed to insufficient staffing levels across multiple institutions. Beyond basic provisions, the NPM noted a distinct lack of specialized protective gear for personnel, alongside broader material and technical shortcomings.
These deficiencies, the statement asserted, directly compromise the overall quality of care and the humane conditions within correctional facilities. The document serves not only as a critical assessment but also outlines specific recommendations intended for institutional improvement. The NPM stated that these recommendations have been submitted to various governing bodies, urging the implementation of necessary reforms across large parts of the prison system.
The findings underscore the ongoing need for structural upgrades and adherence to established human rights standards within the custodial environment.
