Whenever possible, arrangements shall be undertaken to allow juveniles to watch TV programs, do physical exercises in specially equipped rooms, and do exercises outdoors on a special sports area, as well as to continue pursuing or pursue secondary education. Cultural and education activities shall be arranged for juveniles. Juveniles are allowed to receive textbooks and school and writing material or purchase them at their own expense, and receive those through care packages or parcels in any quantity. In accordance with Article 16 of the Law on the Procedure of the Detention, IAB TDF detainees are entitled to use books and periodicals available in the library or procured through the administration of the place of detention from a retail network, as well as board games, which must be provided by the administration. Article 22 of this Law requires that all cells are provided with wireless receivers, and to the extent possible, TV sets, refrigerators and air movement equipment.
