In some of the TDFs, detainees’ personal belongings are stored in the room of the Head of the institution. Nine (19.1%) TDFs designated a special room for the above purposes. m) Equipment of cells Of the TDF cell equipment listed in the Internal Regulations, the observers noted only a small tank for drinking water and litter-bins that are not available in all TDFs. No other equipment in the TDF cells was found. The observers encountered two TDFs where there were tables in the cells, and there was a bench in one of the facilities (the Mailuu-Suu City IAB TDF). The cells of only 17 (36.2%) TDFs had a small tank for drinking water at the time of the monitoring. As mentioned above, if any tank (bucket) with drinking water is available, it is usually located in the corner of the cell at the entrance next to the bucket for needs of nature. The observers noted that only 20 (42.6%) IAB TDFs cells had a litterbin, and in four (8.5%) of them there were plastic bags instead of bins. Due to lack of equipment in cell detainees eat on the floor. n) Sanitary Inspection (decontamination of detainees, sanitary condition of cells, disinfection, and disinsection) No TDF performs compulsory primary decontamination of all persons when they are admitted to IAB TDFs, in violation of law. Further, although the law requires that decontamination of prisoners takes place at least once every seven days, this is not done in practice. IAB TDFs lack disinfectants. Therefore, most of the institution fail to comply with the legal provision whereby TDF cells and other premises shall undergo every-day wet cleaning with disinfectants used. The observers noted a relatively favorable situation in the Panfilov District IAB TDF where all cells and a lavatory are decontaminated every week. In addition, the sanitary & epidemiological service disinfects the TDF once a month. According to the Bishkek city IAD TDF, “sanitary & epidemiological decontamination with powder takes place once a year in summer.” According to records in the book of IADT IAB, cells are disinfected once a week. The Head of the facility said that the sanitary & epidemiological treatment was done last winter. According to the detainees, neither disinfection nor disinsection is performed in the TDFs. Example: The detained women in the Issyk-Ata District IAB TDF complained about bugs and omissions of the administration in this sphere. Example: As a detainee of the Tokmok city IAB TDF explained, “there were fleas in the cells”. Sanitary & epidemiological services, with few exceptions, do not perform sanitary oversight and do not conduct regular inspections to see if sanitary standards in terms of lighting, ventilation, temperature, humidity and air pollution, availability, quality and properties of water, etc. are complied with. 46
