In this regard, the NPM cannot understand why the existing deficit cannot be quickly remedied by a simple improvement, such as replacing the table, which is too large.  The disadvantage of being assigned to a cell for multiple inmates can be mitigated by reducing the lock-up times.  In these cases, it is all the more important that inmates be provided with lockable boxes.  Tables that are too large prevent touching during visits.
