Abstract

The article presents information on the activities of the National Preventive Mechanism (NPM) in Poland with regard to detention centres. The study covers all NPM’s reports, both annual and those from regular and ad hoc visits conducted in detention centres during all years of operation of this preventive institution in Poland (2008-2022). The crisis along Poland’s border with Belarus in 2021 and 2022 led to increased involvement of the NPM in conducting preventive visits to places where foreigners can be deprived of liberty. These are places of isolation under the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. The article presents a summary of the most important recommendations that the NPM made regarding these particular places of isolation, including children in detention, living conditions and the right to privacy.
