The natural light in the detention room is
satisfactory, but the artificial light is poor. In both
detention rooms, lamps producing artificial light
are set directly above the entrance into the room,
in a channel of approximately 8 x 60 centimetres,
5
which are covered with obscured glass, thus
additionally reducing the light spreading into the
room. It is most probable that barely enough light
is provided by such light at night time to enable the
video-surveillance of a detained person.
Verify whether the
existing lamps provide
for enough artificial
light at night time to
enable an efficient
video- surveillance of
a detained person. In
case of deviation, verify
the option on installing
a stronger or additional
lamp in both detention
rooms.

In addition to detention rooms, the 17th MPB also
has an interrogation room, which is equipped
with a larger table, five chairs, a computer and
two monitors. According to the explanation by the
6 NPM, a discussion held between a lawyer and a
detained person is also made possible (or might
be made possible) in this room, if such discussion
might be needed. The room is under the videosurveillance but not marked.
Mark with a suitable
warning label that the
lobby is under videosurveillance.
