CAT/OP/MNG/1 73. The Subcommittee recommends that fairly remunerated work opportunities, in properly regulated working conditions in accordance with accepted standards, be made available to all detainees. Regimes of detention 74. The Subcommittee is concerned about several overly restrictive aspects of the detention regime. In some prisons visited, newly admitted detainees are not allowed outside their cells for the first 14 days. Those who are not working are only allowed out of their cells for very short periods two or three times per week and, in some high-security prisons, such out-of-cell time is spent in what are best described as open-air cages. 75. The Subcommittee is also concerned that the recently enacted laws of July 2017 have restricted the ability of sentenced prisoners to have contact with the outside world. The Subcommittee notes that prisoners in high-security prisons are now only allowed four visits per year, of up to three hours each, and overnight visits are not permitted at all. Prisoners subject to the closed prison regime have also seen a reduction in the frequency of visits, as well as increased restrictions on sending and receiving letters and parcels and making phone calls. Moreover, many prisoners complained about the limited length of visits, given the length of the journeys and the associated costs that must be borne by their family members. 76. The Subcommittee recommends that: (a) All sentenced prisoners, from the commencement of their sentence, be permitted to go out of their cells into common areas, with the possibility of engaging in purposeful and communal activities, should they wish to do so; (b) At a minimum, all sentenced prisoners be able to spend the internationally recognized minimum period of one hour per day in open-air conditions allowing for movement and physical activity; (c) The more restrictive rules applicable to family visiting and contact with the outside world introduced in July 2017 be repealed and replaced by new rules that allow for more frequent contact, for longer periods, reflecting the difficulties of travel and costs involved in family visits. Reasonable accommodation 77. The Subcommittee did not see any provision made for adequate accommodation for persons with disabilities, in particular regarding access to showers and toilets and for the purposes of out-of-cell activities. 78. The Subcommittee recommends that reasonable accommodation should be made to secure the rights of persons with disabilities throughout the detention system. Toilet and shower facilities 79. The Subcommittee is concerned that, in several of the prisons it visited, showers and toilets for some parts of the prison, including disciplinary cells, were located outside of the accommodation units and, in some instances, the only toilets were the “open pit” type. 80. The Subcommittee recommends that indoor sanitary facilities be provided in all prisons, incorporated into or linked with the accommodation units. Specific concerns Prison No. 405 81. During family visits, prisoners were held with their legs shackled in iron to the floor, in a room equipped with a CCTV system and in the presence of a prison guard. 82. The Subcommittee recommends that these arrangements cease immediately and that visits be allowed to take place in a more family-oriented and less securitized environment. 14
