The detention rooms have an area of 10 m². During the visit to the premises, a high humidity level of 63-66% R.H. was measured, and the temperature was 20-21⁰C. The beds are equipped with mattresses, pillows, blankets and clean bedding, and the detainees themselves take care of the hygiene and it was generally satisfactory. The daylight that penetrates through the windows above the detention rooms is insufficient, and there is artificial lighting that can only be activated from the outside. The premises have a special ventilation system, and on the day of the visit they were ventilated. In each of the rooms in the detention unit there is a signalization system, that is, a system for calling the officials. There are two toilets in the detention unit, one of which is located at the end of the hallway where the premises are, and the other is outside, near the walking area.
