Cells should also be adequately furnished with a bed, table and chair, sanitary facilities (ECtHR77, CPT78) and means of communication with the prison staff; when the cell is not used for disciplinary solitary confinement, it should be furnished as a regular cell (CPT79). Those who are kept in solitary confinement should be given access to at least one hour of outdoor exercise (SPT80, CPT81, EPR82) and the area for outdoor exercise should be sufficiently large to enable detainees to genuinely exert themselves and should have some means of protection from the elements (CPT83).Some general living conditions that cannot be withdrawn, which include those related to light, ventilation, temperature, sanitation, nutrition, drinking water, access to open air and physical exercise, personal hygiene, health care and adequate personal space; in general a cell for solitary confinement should look like a regular cell (Mandela Rules84, EPR85, CPT86). A physician or a public health official should monitor these conditions (Mandela Rules87, SRT88, EPR89). The ECtHR also considers other factors of the regime such as access to television, books (which should not be limited to religious texts), and newspapers, the possibility, duration and equipment to exercise indoor and/or outdoors, and whether the detainee has access to in-cell or out-ofcell activities (alone or with other detainees).90 75.
