may threaten their right to the protection of personal data. This information,
apart from the Border Guard officers, may also be accessed by all fellow
inmates and the third parties present in the Deportation Centre as, for example,
visitors.
¾ Extremely important for inmates is not only knowledge of the rules of the
establishment functioning but also of the institutions to which they may apply
in situations of bad treatment. In connection with that, the National Preventive
Mechanism recommended to place the address data of authorities, institutions
and NGOs dealing with foreigners and other information concerning the rights
and duties of inmates. This information should be publicly available without a
necessity to ask the staff of the establishment for its provision.
¾ Limiting the possibility of walking to one hour a day and only occasional cases
of extending the duration of walks, in the opinion of the Mechanism constitute
an excessive hardship for persons staying in the establishment. In this
connection, foreigners should be provided greater possibilities to take daily
walks, without limiting them to a minimum.
