12 THE GREEK OMBUDSMAN worker on the Parole Board. Regarding security personnel, another issue that was noted is insufficient training and the age of its equipment, which in some cases is unsuitable as it is beyond its expiration date. Specifically: ρρ On visiting the Tripoli Detention Facility it was found that the Facility’s building infrastructure is unsuitable for its designated use due to age and location. The Facility generally appears to operate on “autopilot” as a place for processing prisoners who are simply “placed” there to wait for their sentence to run its course. Issues such as the condition of the buildings, the creation of workshops, the devising of a dining area, the establishment of a social service and the organisation of a school, are matters that require immediate attention, and are in danger of being in violation of the provisions of Article 4 of the Penitentiary Code, which clearly stipulates the protection of the individual rights of prisoners. ρρ The NPM visited the Corinth Detention Facility in April 2016, where a Special Detention Facility for Juveniles aged 15 to 18 years has been operating since September 2014, in accordance with Ministerial Decision 90467/22.10.2013 (GG 2767b/2013). The visit was aimed at assessing the situation as it developed following the previous on-site inspection in February 2015, and particularly following the changes instituted by Law 4322/2015 regarding the conditions and duration of the detention of minors. Indeed, the NPM found only a small number of prisoners and, specifically, 10 minors of Greek nationality and a few adults, who were employed in cleaning, operating the canteen and food preparation. The on-site inspection produced the following findings with regard to the living conditions of minors: ϭϭ No psychological support services are provided, despite the fact that this is considered necessary, especially for minors, who by definition are considered vulnerable, while, in addition, the specific minors are charged with having committed serious offences, which of course necessitates special expertise in their penal treatment. ϭϭ The valuable initiatives undertaken by the personnel and, particularly, the operation of the school, appear to have a positive effect on the gradual re-socialisation of minors and their reconnection to the community. ϭϭ The building infrastructures continue to exhibit a variety of deficiencies, especially when considering the needs of adolescents (lack of organised exercise areas, library, recreation room).
