 The situation is not so different in some of the poorer countries in Europe. Consider the conclusion from the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT) (on their visit to a country ranked 61 by Pasquali):
-'':Regarding the situation in prisons, numerous credible allegations consistent with physical ill-treatment (punches, including with reinforced gloves, kicks with the knee and feet and blows with a truncheon) were received by the delegation. They were mainly inflicted on prisoners under a maximum security regime (“RMS”) and in the closed regime units of Arad and Oradea prisons by members of the intervention group (wearing balaclavas or masks). Medical evidence compatible with the allegations made was found in a certain number of prisoners' medical files in these two establishments. As regards material conditions in prisons, the report notes an overall high-level of overcrowding, with barely 2m² of living space per person in Târgşor Women’s Prison; these conditions were further aggravated by the fact that prisoners generally spent 20 to 22 hours a day in their cells. Furthermore, the report contains recommendations to reinforce the numbers of prison and health-care staff in the establishments visited and to offer work and/or socio-educational activities to prisoners under RMS and closed regimes.''

 (CPT News Flash on the visit to Romania 2014, for a detailled report see the french version).
 In 2016, because of the poor conditions in Romanian local prisons, the ECHR took the unusual step of according almost 100,000 euros in compensation to 18 (ex-) convicts - instead of the much lower symbolic sums that it normally accords to successful plaintiffs.
