Recently, another heater was acquired. It was equally visited the refectory which was in good conditions. The same thing, however, cannot be said about the kitchen, located outside in a container that has been adapted for this purpose. The hygienic conditions, health and ventilation were really bad. The cook did not wear gloves when handling food. One of the freezers was exposed to the sun, albeit indirectly, and the vertical freezer had very poor hygiene. Inside the freezer was detected food without appropriate packaging. About 48% of inmates have a labour occupation, mainly in the cleaning service.
