This short guide, the first volume in the Detention Monitoring Briefing Series, provides a useful reference on recommendation-writing for individuals and organizations that monitor the human rights situation in places of detention. It is intended to improve the effectiveness of their recommendations in preventing torture and another mistreatment of prisoners. The text also provides criteria that can be systematically applied across different countries and contexts that are ideally suited for review of a draft set of recommendations before publication.
