sets, DVD players and radio sets. Almost all cells are equipped with power outlets for electric appliances. Kitchenware is also available. Lighting Monitors have noticed sufficient access to natural daylight in most cells in PDF No. 25 which is enough for reading and writing during daytime. In average, windows in cells are 1x1 meters in size. In PDF No. 23 and PDF No. 24 the amount of natural lighting was assessed by observers as unsatisfactory. Artificial lighting is sufficient, as all cells are equipped with electric bulbs. Heating and ventilation in cells PDF No. 25 in Osh is connected to the central city heating from the central heating and power plant. However, because of obsolete installations, the heat coming from central heating radiators is not enough, and makeshift electric heaters are often used for heating buildings, in contravention to basic fire safety regulations. PDF No. 23 and PDF No. 24 use autonomous heating and there are boiler houses on the premises of these pre-trial detention facilities. A boiler house was fixed in PDF No. 23 with support from the OSCE Centre in Bishkek. The chief of PDF No. 23 mentioned that the absence of an electricity generator is a very urgent problem, as during falls and winters when there are frequent power supply interruptions electricity is not supplied to the entire facility. As a result, staff members of the institutions have to stand sentry all night long in the area adjoining the PDF building. In the course of monitoring visits, the monitoring teams assessed as insufficient the access to natural ventilation in PDF No. 23 and PDF No. 24. Artificial ventilation was installed in the hallway of PDF No. 23. Good natural ventilation was noticed in PDF No. 25. Sanitary facilities The monitoring findings highlight that the right of detainees to satisfy their physical needs whenever they need to do so in clean and decent conditions is not respected fully. Toilet facilities are installed in all cells of pre-trial detention facilities which are made in the form of squatting pans with a supply tank and a sink with tap water. Toilet facilities are fenced by low walls or a curtain made by detainees themselves using bed sheets (PDF No. 23). The sanitary condition of many toilet facilities in inadequate. As reported by the chief of PDF No. 23, in summertime the Karakol water supply service interrupts water supply, and the sewerage system in cells does not work. In all PDFs, detainees have the possibility to take a shower once a week. However, all bathing and laundry facilities require capital repair works. For instance, shower rooms in PDF No. 24 and PDF No. 25 are in critical conditions, with mould on the walls due to dampness. Apart from the shower room, there is a bath house in PDF No. 25. Detainees in PDF No. 23 also have a possibility to wash in a bath house which was renovated in 2012. Availability of personal hygiene utensils, cleaning supplies and kitchenware 49
