On 2 June 2022, the Ministry of Justice sent to the Chancellor a Draft Act for amending several
laws, under which it is planned to create a possibility for convicted and remand prisoners to also
meet their next of kin via a video link. This is a significant development.
Unfortunately, to date Tallinn Prison has been forcing children coming for a visit with parents to
undergo a full strip search even though I have repeatedly asked the prison not to do so (see e.g.
the recommendations to Tallinn Prison of 20 January 2020 No 7-7/191450/2000290 and 5
November 2019 No 7-4/191395/1905411). According to information available to the Chancellor,
prisons (including Tallinn Prison) have subjected children to this kind of search even after the
inspection visit although Tallinn Court of Appeal on 28 February 2022 in case No 3-21-161 held
that such a measure was unlawful. I emphasise once again that since a prisoner is searched both
before and after meeting with the child, a strip search as a measure that degrades a child’s dignity
and overshadows the visit with the parent in prison is neither necessary nor acceptable.
