ANNUAL SPECIAL REPORT 2016 13 ϭϭ Improvements were observed in relation to the cells (the most important being the placing of a door on the toilet) and the food. ρρ At the Larissa Detention Facility a significant decrease in the number of prisoners was observed, a fact which contributed to the improvement of living conditions and reduced operational problems, such as the sufficiency of hot water and personal hygiene products. However, there is no permanent internist, while prisoners complained about the Facility’s dampness and the presenceof bedbugs. Furthermore, there is no door dividing the toilet from the rest of the cell, only a curtain. The open visiting area is judged to be particularly friendly, as it allows for free contact between persons. ρρ At the women’s wing of the Korydallos Detention Facility it was found that there are frequent large increases in the numbers of prisoners, due to transfers, which disrupts the smooth flow of prison life. The prison yard is big enough, with exercise equipment and vegetation, but the other outdoor areas are less suitable, due to the limited amount of space. The areas adjacent to the facility’s refuse collection area are particularly unsuitable as the refuse is usually left there for a number of days, creating, especially in summer, an oppressive atmosphere due to the strong smell. The women’s wing does not have its own kitchen since it ceased to operate when the ground floor was repurposed for the accommodation of another category of prisoners. Moreover, the change of use of the ground floor has also significantly restricted the size of the women’s wing, which has created overcrowding and has left – apart from the cells – only a small corridor for the use of the women prisoners. Strong complaints were expressed by the women prisoners regarding the inadequacy of the dental care provided, as well as the lack of a nurse, the position of which is filled by a correctional officer. During the visit a particularly pleasant special visiting area was being constructed for the prisoners’ children.
