The highest percentage of overcrowding in the was registered in the Issyk-Ata District IAB TDFs where there were 45 people while it is designed only for 28 detainees. According to the Director of the TDF, overcrowding of TDFs occurs often due to frequent postponements of court hearings.

Floors in the cells of 33 (71%) TDFs are concrete, i.e., there is no coverage of linoleum, tiles or other insulated material. In 8 (17%) IAB TDFs, the floors in the cells are covered with a wooden covering, and with the tiles in the Ton District IAB TDF). In most cases, the condition of the walls and ceilings in the cells was assessed by the observers as satisfactory (whitewashed, painted). The exceptions are 5 (11%) TDFs, including the Djail, Kara-Kuldja, KaraSuu, Uzgen and Suzak District IAB TDFs having he dirty walls with cracks that need repair. The observers found that in the TDFs of Djail, Tyup, Uzgen and Kadamzhai District IABs, the cells are in poor condition and need urgent repair. Humidity in these cells is very high, which is why mold fungus appeared on the walls. In the Ala-Buka District IAB TDF, wooden floors in some cells went rotten due to poor ventilation resulting in dampness. When monitoring the Aravan District IAB TDF, the observers pointed out all of the cells and premises had been repaired and were in a satisfactory condition. d) Number of sleeping accommodations in cells The monitoring revealed the violations of the law as to provision of each suspected or accused person with sleeping accommodation. For instance, only in 25 (53.2%) IAB TDFs beds are installed as sleeping accommodations; and 21 of them are iron beds, and the rest four (17%) are wooden beds. In 18 (38%) IAB TDFs, there is only one wooden couch per cell instead of beds that is intended for all prisoners held in the cell. In this case, given the small size of the cells, there is virtually no open space. Such a situation was observed in the TDF of Balykchi IAB where the entire area of ​​the cell was occupied by the couch, and in the TDF of Kyzyl-Kiya IAB, a 3x3 meter couch was put in the cells. 37 Cell in TDF.
