implemented, the one of disinfecting living rooms, division of prisoners of the age group 18-21
years old into a special sector and the settlement of chronic ill people in separate rooms;
meanwhile, all the other recommendations have remained unfulfilled so far. The only investment
made at this I.E.C.D. was the waterproofing of the terrace and it was expected that very soon to
be invested in the common toilets of building no. 1 and the kitchen of the institution.
