HELLENIC POLICE AND COAST GUARD DETENTION FACILITIES built-in beds, foam mattresses and blankets while the rest of the detainees slept on the floor. The odors from the toilet were intense. Incidents regarding detainees with withdrawal symptoms were frequently reported and there was lack of consistent cooperation with the nearby Organization against Drugs Unit (OKANA). Surveillance (not recording) cameras were placed in the waiting room and the cells and there was always a guard present in the office of the on-duty officer. 3.b.2 Attica Transfers Directorate The NPM inspected the cells of the Transfers Directorate following a series of complaints regarding detention conditions and especially cleaning regimes. Detention areas consisted of four wings with single and five-bed cells. All beds were made of cement and had mattresses. There was no out-of-cell time. There was one wing for women and three for men. Furthermore, in the men's wing, minors were detained in a locked cell in order to be kept separate from the adults. During the inspection day, 36 men and 2 women were held in the police station cells. The detainees, who were in pre-trial detention or convicted, remained in the cells for two to four days in average, until they were transferred or returned to a detention facility. The usual reason for transfer and detention in the cells of the Transfers Directorate was the transfer to court, hospital or to another detention facility, etc. In certain cases, the detention period would be even longer (postponement or continuance of a trial, orders for medical examination, identification checks). Wings and common areas were not clean and we observed dilapidated sanitation units, damaged walls that needed re-painting and windows in bad shape. If things don't change or if they get worse, sanitary issues may emerge. Moreover, detainees and visitors with disabilities did not have access to the detention and visiting areas because the only elevator was out of order and there was no other alternative. Finally, the Directorate had no doctor available. 35 The NPM team was informed that the Attica Directorate of third country nationalsiii was competent for issuing a call for tenders for cleaning services and signing the relevant contract. It was also reported that the Directorate of Transfers had no separate budget and consequently had significant difficulties covering even general functional expenses due to budget cuts. Understaffing was also an issue, as from the 469 positions in the Directorate's organization chart only 213 people were present. 35 The Directorate of Transfers is housed in the building of the Directorate of third-country nationals. 39
