to deal with the foreigners placed in these establishment in a humane manner. The shower cabins need to be separated so as to ensure the sense of privacy of persons washing themselves. Moreover, the European Court of Human Rights pointed to the need to guarantee persons deprived of liberty the conditions which ensure respect for privacy, in the context of art. 3 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. In addition to the basic comfort of persons washing themselves, this issue is also important for the prevention of risks, in particular sexual acts. The attitude of the Commander of Border Guard Unit in Lubań towards the reservations of the visiting persons was different. Despite the similar statement that the lack of appropriate equipment in the television room in the establishment he managed, in the light of the said ordinance, did not constitute a formal irregularity since such a room was not anticipated to be included in the Deportation Centre's rooms, the Commander announced improvement of the conditions for using the TV set by the foreigners. In addition, he informed that works on improving the living conditions of the inmates would be taken in accordance with the schedule which forms an integral part of the adopted plan of modernisation and certain works relating to the condition of the walls in the sanitary facilities of the Deportation Centre have already been carried out. The Commander of the Nadodrzański Border Guard Unit in Krosno Odrzańskie explained that the heating season in the Centre began on 10 October, and thus at the time of the visit, which took place in September, the establishments could have been underheated. Referring to the reservations concerning metal meshes installed in the windows from the inside, he explained that these were the remains of safeguards of the Deportation Centre which was transformed in the present Guarded Centre for Foreigners. In the opinion of the Director of the Centre, they provided additional security, for example, against breaking the pane or damage to the window. It should be stressed here that, in accordance with the Standards of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT), care should be taken in the design and layout of the premises to avoid as far as possible any impression of a carceral environment99. As for the issue concerning the sport and recreation infrastructure for adults, apart from an indication that there was a squash court in the Centre, the Commander of the Nadodrzański Border Guard Unit in Krosno Odrzańskie informed that in the nearest future a basketball hoop backboard would be installed. f) Right to health protection European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (open to the signature on 4 November 1950, Dz.
