Due to their vulnerable situation, persons
deprived of liberty should be offered
vaccination as soon as possible, and they
and staff should be included in the high
priority groups.
Relaxations should be upheld to the largest
extent possible, e.g., by making use of
testing, quarantine or stringing together
various interruptions of detention, and the
phases and steps of relaxations should be
arranged more flexibly.

Restrictions should be checked for necessity
regularly. Regulations that similarly affect the
general population should serve as a point of
reference, so that detainees’ well-being is not
compromised disproportionately. In addition,
measures to mitigate the negative impacts of
the restrictions should be put in place.
New technologies, such as video calls, should
be used to ensure that persons concerned
can maintain regular contacts with the
outside world. Authorities should ensure that
the necessary technological equipment and
knowledge of how to use it are at hand.
However, the use of new technology should
not replace the personal visits.
