NATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM AGAINST TORTURE AND ILL-TREATMENT 2019
The premises were freshly painted and disinfection took place once a month.
Cleaning services were provided by a private company. The cell areas were in good
shape and there was a hallway with windows ensuring sufficient natural light.
However, toilets and showers were filthy and poorly maintained. The yard area was
spacious enough and there were sports facilities available. Every day, detainees had
five hours out-of-cell time.
On the day of the inspection, 31 third-country administrative detainees were held,
including three minors under protective custody whereas the only criminal detainee
had been just released. Administrative detainees remained in custody from three
days up to two months.

In the Thermi Migration Management Department, cells were housed in the
premises of a factory for the maintenance and repair of Hellenic Police vehicles, 1 km
northeast of New Raidestos. There was one cell with capacity for five persons and
one cell for seven persons; a hallway connected all spaces (cells and offices). Each
cell had its own toilet and shower. There was enough light but no yard area. A
television set and pay-phone were available outside the cells. There was hot water
and air-conditioning. The radiator functioned when petroleum were available.
