In most TDFs, access to daylight is limited by the small size of the window. Window sizes ranged from 10 cm x 45 cm to 1.0 m x 1.20 m. In cells of 6 (31.6%) TDFs, windows are barred with double metal bars, which make the penetration of light and air practically impossible. Examples are TDFs of the IAB of the Kemin, Jeti-Oguz, and Tup regions. TDF of the IAB of the Tup region. Cell. Barred window. “Through a window in the cell, the light does not penetrate.

One reason is that, as already noted, the windows in the rooms have small dimensions or are barred with double metal bars, making the ingress of air virtually impossible. In 10 (52.6%) TDFs a centralized heating system is utilized, and in other TDF, individual electric heaters or solid fuel is used. “In cells, in the offices of employees and the interrogation room, it is very cold.”35 “The cells are very cold, twilight, nothing besides 36 a bed.” TDF of the IAB of Panfilov district Observers noted that the right of detainees to the ability to meet the needs of nature when they need it and in a clean and decent manner is not provided in most cases. 34 Observer’s Note.
