A visit report is a written document in which NPMs record their findings and analysis following a monitoring visit to a place of deprivation of liberty.  

 

In general, NPM visit reports include the main findings observed by the NPM during the visit, from their first-hand observations, interviews carried out with persons deprived of liberty and staff, and consultation of registers and other documents. Visit reports also usually include systemic analysis of the risks of torture and other ill-treatment in the visited place and recommendations to detaining and other relevant authorities. 

 

Visit reports complement other types of reports NPMs may publish, including annual reports and thematic reports.
