renovation of bathroom facilities had been completed, whereas further repairs would be carried out after receiving necessary funds. As regards the Chamber in Jaworzno, the Voivodeship Police Commander in Katowice informed that on 1 December 2010 the facility in Jaworzno had been closed down due to the opening of a “regional” room for detained persons or persons brought to sober up within Municipal Police Headquarters in Katowice29. The representatives of the National Preventive Mechanism saw radically different conditions in rooms for detained persons in Wrocław and Gdynia. Conditions in both Chambers were recognized as model. Recommendations of the National Preventive Mechanism were only limited to, respectively: painting walls with a humidity and clarifier-resistant coating during the next renovation and a proper organisation of a first aid kit along with instructions concerning the provision of first aid30. Irregularities observed by the National Preventive Mechanism in the remaining 9 rooms for detained persons within the Police headquarters mostly concerned an incomplete equipment of those rooms (establishments in Legionowo, Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki, Warsaw I, Kutno and Środa Wielkopolska). Shortcomings observed in the abovementioned Chambers indicate the failure to comply with the provisions of the Ordinance of the Minister of the Interior and Administration of 13 October 2008 on the rooms in the Police premises for detained persons or persons brought to sober up, which explicitly specify the equipment of such rooms. NPM employees also observed the problem of the failure to determine places where detained persons could use tobacco products (establishments in Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki, Bytom and Kutno), as well as the lack of substitute clothing for persons referred to in Article 10(2) of Regulations concerning the stay in rooms for detained persons or persons brought to sober up (hereinafter referred to as Regulations), as well as substitute clothing specified in Article 10(3) of the Regulations (establishments in Kutno and Środa Wielkopolska).As regards the aforementioned recommendations, the Poviat Police Commander in Kutno and the Poviat Police Commander in Środa Wielkopolska informed the NPM that they had undertaken actions leading to the elimination of the irregularities found. In several other establishments NPM also recommended equipping shower stands with antislip mats (e.g. establishments in Legionowo, Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki), removal of toilet bowls from rooms for detained persons or installing fixed, easily washable and humidity and clarifier-resistant floors (Warsaw I establishment).To respect the right to intimacy of persons staying in rooms for detained persons, NPM recommended a relevant reconstruction of sanitary facilities, leading to at least partial isolation of shower stands (establishment in Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki), as well as equipping bathrooms with appropriate curtains guaranteeing intimacy at taking a shower and using a toilet (establishments in Gliwice, Koszalin and Kielce).                                                              29 Establishment of such a room was possible after the complete reconstruction of a room for detained persons and adaptation of rooms regained after a liquidated deportation centre within the Municipal Police Headquarters in Katowice. As a result of this undertaking, current capacity of the room for detained persons within Katowice amounts to 56 persons at one time. 30 This recommendation, issued by the National Sanitary Inspection of the Ministry of the Interior and Administration, has been entered into post-visit information by the National Preventive Mechanism since it was found that it had not been executed.
