Statement on the fact that inmates of a remand prison are only offered one fruit per week

Summary of the decision: Procedure at Gothenburg Remand Prison is that inmates are offered one fruit per week. The Parliamentary Ombudsman states that she understands completely that inmates feel that this is too little. The Swedish Prison and Probation Service must pay particular attention when dietary deficiencies are pointed out and not ignore information that inmates are receiving too little food and fruit. The Parliamentary Ombudsman reminds the agency to take such matters seriously and continuously follow up and review procedures both at national level and at individual facilities.
