7.4. Sobering-up stations   In 2010, 13 sobering-up stations74 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the stations’) were visited by the National Preventive Mechanism. It should be emphasised that while visiting Pogotowie Socjalne dla Osób Nietrzeźwych (Social Assistance Emergency Unit for Intoxicated Individuals) in Gdańsk on 17 March 2010, representatives of the National Preventive Mechanism were denied access to the majority of documents held by that unit, and to the monitoring records; Any talks with people who were leaving the unit were also made impossible. Therefore, after an intervention with the Mayor of Gdańsk, the visit was repeated on 30 June 2010. At the same time, it should be emphasised that the Bielsko-Biała station did not require any recommendations to allow the NPF visit. The station has created very good living conditions for the detained, and during the visit it was established that there were no factors at that station that may lead to the cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment of the detained.                                                              74 Those were the following sobering-up stations: at Bielsko-Biała, at Sosnowiec, in Wrocław, at Legnica, at Zielona Góra, at Gliwice, at Chełm, in Szczecin, in Rzeszów; as well as Całodobowe Pogotowie Socjalne dla Osób Nietrzeźwych (Social Assistance Emergency Unit) in Gdańsk, Ośrodek Terapii i Opieki nad Nietrzeźwymi (Centre for Treatment and Assistance to Intoxicated Individuals) in Koszalin, Ośrodek Profilaktyki i Rozwiązywania Problemów Uzależnień (Centre for Prevention and Solution of Addiction Problems) at Inowrocław, Ośrodek Profilaktyki Uzależnień od Alkoholu oraz Pobytu Nietrzeźwych (Centre for Prevention of Addiction to Alcohol and for Temporal Stay of Intoxicated Individuals) at Jaworzno.
