Pa r t i I . 6. Right to information The visitors found individual deficiencies as regards fulfilling charges’ right to information which consisted in lack of a  charge’s signature of a  statement of knowledge of the establishment’s rules and advocated completing an address list of institutions protecting human rights to include data of the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights and the HRD hotline96. Two establishments97 were found to use notice boards to display charges’ personal data, i.e. their weight, height and biography. However, one shelter98 ordered not to send complaints to external institutions through its personnel. It was advised to address these deficiencies. Despite these reservations of the representatives of the Mechanism, it should be noted that the right to information in the visited centres and shelters was generally observed. 7. Living conditions Most visited centres and shelters ensured good living conditions to their charges. 8. Personnel Following international recommendations and the position of the CPT, ensuring systematic training to personnel working with persons deprived of their liberty is essential to prevent ill-treatment. In this respect, recommendations were identical as to the employees of YCCs. 4. Rooms for detained persons (PDRs) 4.1.
