Note: There is a backlog in updating decisions on all areas in POLSAS (the police case management program).
Data from previous years would not be reliable before 2 month after the end of a year. The data is analyzed based
on information from POLSAS and processed in Qlikview, which is the management information system of the
Prosecution Service. Reservation is made for typing errors. Data are dynamic and the number may change due to
corrections or delayed updates of the data in POLSAS, new convictions etc.
Indictments/prosecutions and convictions have been calculated based on the number of persons who have been
prosecuted or convicted. The number of indictments in a single year does not correspond to the number of
convictions in the same year. In consequence, there will be a periodic deviation of the data. The data were updated
11 May 2019.

The data in table 1 and 2 is based on the compilation of data from the National Police’s case
management system (POLSAS) about persons registered as remand prisoners and with letter and
visitation control, respectively. The data is attached with uncertainty since POLSAS is a case
management system and not an actual system for statistics. Also, it should be noted, that the data in
the tables is dynamic. That said, the data might differ depending on when the data is compiled. The
data in table 1 and 2 is from 16 November 2019.

that

material
errors aside from
those the Prison and
Probation Service
itself has apologised
for and reacted to.
The errors were
primarily the
following:
- The fact that there
had not been made
sufficient
documentation in
relation to the
placement in
observation cell and
solitary
confinement cell of
the person involved
(lack of notes about
inspection and lack
of reasons for the
fixation).
- The fact that it was
not ensured that the
person involved had
the opportunity to
improve the blood
circulation in his
legs during the long
periods of fixation.
- The fact that the
person involved in
several cases was
taken out of the
solitary
confinement cell
without a reason for
this, including an
assessment of the
risk for new self-
harming acts and
attacks on the staff.
Placement in
solitary
confinement cell
with gradual
removal of fixation
and ultimately no
fixation should have
been considered.

report should be given to the
Prison and Probation Service. It
has been decided that reports on
the use of observation cells and
solitary confinement must be
reviewed by a supervisor in the
Zealand institutions belonging to
the Prison and Probation Service,
where they have solitary
confinement, for the purpose of
quality assurance.
The staff at Storstrøm Fængsel
has been given instructions about
the rules covered in the suicide
circular and the rules governing
observation cells and solitary
confinement (a large portion of
the staff in Vridsløselille Prison
has continued to serve in
Storstrøm Prison following the
closing of Vridsløselille Prison).
Based on the case, the Prison and
Probation Service has instituted
measures for the purpose of
generally increasing awareness of
the risk and prevention of blood
clots in inmates that have been
restrained.
The Prison and Probation Service
has therefore on 31 August 2018
sent a letter to the area offices,
wherein it is stated that the
institutions henceforth must
ensure that the restrained
receives adequate fluid and is
activated, so as to help prevent
blood clots in connection with
restraints in the future. It was
also stated that blood clots from
extended periods of
immobilisation could be
prevented with the use of
medication. The letter came with
an attached table, which
–
as
documentation
–
must be filled
out in connection with placing an
inmate in solitary confinement
and in addition to the module for
solitary confinement in the client
system.
