Places visited by the National Preventive Mechanism in 2011 detainees was insufficient (Centre in Elbląg), that there were no personal lockers (Centre in Elbląg and Lublin), and that detainees were not provided with toiletries (Centre in Lublin). Except for DCMG in Ustka, all of the visited Centres had difficulties with complying with the provisions of the Ordinance of the Minister of National Defence of 11 March 2010 on detention centres230. The doors to detention rooms did not have any opening to deliver meals and to handcuff detainees231. Moreover, the entrance door and windows in the detention rooms were not equipped with devices indicating that they were opened232. In response to the recommendations, the Commander of Military Gendarmerie Division in Ustka informed the Mechanism that the Centre would be refurbished in 2012-2013. The Commander of the Military Gendarmerie Division in Lublin, on the other hand, informed the Mechanism that as of January 2012 all rooms would be equipped with personal lockers. He also promised to ensure that the Centre in Lublin is equipped with products of personal hygiene. The Commander also informed that the alarm system in the Centre was checked and it was established that it operated properly. The Commander of Military Gendarmerie Division in Elbląg was positive about the requests and remarks of the National Preventive Mechanism, and informed that the room in question was changed into a single room. The Commander promised to carry out renovation and construction works to adjust the Centre to the requirements of the above-mentioned Ordinance. The National Preventive Mechanism recommended to: • Promptly equip the storage room with the necessary products of personal hygiene; • Change the capacity of the room with a double bunk so that it contains a single bunk, until the Centre is renovated; • Equip the doors to detention rooms with an opening to deliver meals and to handcuff detainees; • Equip toilets and bathrooms with curtains to ensure intimacy; • Fit the rooms with the missing equipment. e) Staff Soldiers in all of the visited Centres completed a specialist training preparing them to be on duty in a DCMG, and also participated in cyclical pre-medical first aid courses. Moreover, DCMG in Lublin and in Ustka organised seasonal additional trainings for soldiers who were on duty. Soldiers in Centres in Elbląg and Cracow underwent only a single training on service in a DCMG. In the opinion of the Mechanism, only one training is not sufficient and involves a risk that the abilities acquired during would be lost.
