• Pension Lyng6 Jul 2026

  Interpersonal relations and health: After a visit to ‘Pensionen Lyng’ under the Prison and Probation Service, the Ombudsman assessed that a follow-up visit was required. DIGNITY – the Danish Institute Against Torture participated in the follow-up visit, which concentrated on interpersonal relations and health issues. The case was concluded with recommendations. Mentally ill inmates: After a visit to Vestre Hospital, the hospital wing of the state prison Vestre Fængsel, the conditions for mentally ill inmates gave rise to questions. Consequently, the Ombudsman, the Danish Institute for Human Rights and DIGNITY visited the prison again. The Ombudsman subsequently asked the Department of Prisons and Probation and Copenhagen Prisons for a statement on the conditions for mentally ill inmates. The case is pending.
