Summary
This agenda item concerns the second reading of the draft law amending the Prison Law, initiated by the Government, 506. The presentation will be given by esteemed colleague and member of the Legal Affairs Committee, Anti Haugas. The draft law pertains to the organization of detention conditions and the framework for temporary control of individuals, introducing changes to the operation of detention centers and clarifications in procedures.
Secondly, Anti Haugas’ speech brought to light that the committee did not receive any opinions or amendment proposals prior to the second reading, and some questions were raised regarding issues previously raised in the first reading. He explained that Estonia will, in the future, utilize 12 detention centers, three of which are located at prisons; short-term detention up to 48 hours is possible in all 12 detention centers; following detention comes sobering, and the individual is taken to the detention center for sobering. Tallinn is an exception: there, individuals are taken to a sobering house, not the detention center; the detention center and sobering house are separate. The committee decided to conclude the second reading unanimously and, also unanimously, to place the draft law on the plenary session agenda and to conduct the final vote on November 20th. That is all from my side.
