The Civil Society in the Penal System Association (CİSST) monitors the requests, complaints and claims of rights violations received from prisoners and their kin by means of the applications made to the human rights monitoring and supervision mechanisms. In such applications, CİSST demands from the supervision mechanisms to investigate and inspect the claims of rights violations conveyed, and invites the institutions with the authority for on-site monitoring to carry out monitoring activities at prisons and to report the outcomes of such monitoring.
This report aims to present an assessment of the applications made by CİSST throughout 2022 to the boards with the authority to inspect and supervise the human rights conditions at the prisons, and of the responses to these applications.
