In practice, all TDFs (100%) are provided with food through the local budgets. It should be noted that this
provision is not inconsistent with law providing for the possibility of additional funding for the TDFs from
the budgets of oblast, district (city) administrations and local budgets. However, additional funding must not
fully replace mainstream funding that should come from the state budget against the KR Interior Ministry’s
expenditures.
It follows from what members of staff of TDFs told during interviews that virtually all the TDFs face difficulties
in providing food for prisoners.
Example: According to the head of one of the TDFs: “We are already in debts - no one wants to feed
the detainees without money, on credit.”107
There is no fixed amount of money allocated to any TDF for food of one detainee per day. According to the
administration, the funds allocated by local keneshs for TDFs’ needs for one year are distributed to finance
various needs, including nutrition, purchase of healthcare products and medicines, repairs, etc. Thus, the amount
allocated for food for TDF prisoners depends on the choice of deputies of local councils, who approve daily
nutritional requirements at their sessions.
Having analyzed sums of money allocated by local keneshs to local IAB’s TDFs, the observers established that
the lowest daily nutritional requirement per person is 38 Soms (at the Aksy District IAB TDF) and the highest
one is 124 Soms (at the Chatkal District IAB TDF).
The table below gives details on funds allocated for one prisoner a day.108
