Title: Recommendations of the Committee of Ministers Being of Particular Interest to Prison Administrations
Date Published: 1981
Annotation: Recommendations of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe of particular interest to prison administrations are presented as an effort in the development of modern criminal law, penitentiary science, criminological research, and intergovernmental cooperation in the penal field.
Abstract: One recommendation deals with the electoral, civil, and social rights of prisoners, and recommendations focusing on the treatment of prisoners consider the short-term treatment of young offenders less than aged 21, the short-term treatment of adult offenders, group and community work with offenders, prison labor, and the treatment of long-term prisoners. A recommendation is also presented for the standard minimum rules for the treatment of prisoners. Recommendations dealing with prison staff cover the status, recruitment, and training of prison staff and the status, selection, and training of governing grades of staff of penal establishments. Other topics considered in the recommendations are suspended sentence, probation, and other alternatives to imprisonment; remand in custody; the impact of research on prisoners on the participant and the prison community; the practical organization of measures for the supervision and aftercare of conditionally sentenced or conditionally released offenders; the legal and administrative aspects of criminality among migrant workers; and custody pending trial. Appended are the list of the 50 resolutions of the Committee of Ministers on crime problems; a resolution on certain alternative penal measures to imprisonment, the European Convention on the Supervision of Conditionally Sentenced and Conditionally Released Offenders, and recommendation on the application of this Convention; and a list of the Council of Europe conventions and agreements on penal matters and a chart showing their signatures and ratifications as of December 15, 1981.
