at Koszalin, such repairs have already been done. The head of Gliwice’s station informed that recommended repairs were included into the plan of repairs for the year 2011. While visiting the sobering-up station at Chełm, NPM visitors had objections against a tap with a ruber hose installed in the shower room, and against a shower with a grating and a water switcher. Such installation could be used for forced washing of the patient, and that is considered a degrading treatment. The staff of the sobering-up station informed that the rubber hose was sometimes used to wash feets of inebriate patients. Representatives of the National Preventive Mechanism recommended to remove those inslallation immediately. The Mayor of Chełm informed the Ombudsman that the rubber hose had already been dismantled and construction works were started to dismantle the grating. As regards the stations at Legnica and Inowrocław, it was considered necessary to arrange for separate toilets for men and women, as well as for separate showers (according to § 20 subparagraph 1 points 3 and 4 of the Ordinance77 ) and to equip the later with an anti-sliding mat. Answering the NPM, the head of the station at Legnica explained that it would be technically difficult for the station to make separate showers for men and women, and that men and women shower separately in the same room by turns. He explained that in the lavatory there is always only one person supervised by the appropriate staff. The station is raising funds for repairs of the sanitary room in order to bring it to compliance with requirements laid out in the Ordinance. The visitors recommended to equip the stations (Jaworzno, Rzeszów and Chełm) with equipment for the disabled, and to give a blanket with a blanket-slip (Koszalin) and clean bed-sheets (Sosnowiec) to each detained. The management of the station at Chełm plans to adjust the facility to the needs of physically disabled during repairs of the station planned for 2011. It was deemed necessary to equip the station in Wrocław with the call-over installation78. As the director of the station informed the postulate had already been accomplished. b) Information of patients of the stations on their rights Resolution by the General Assembly of the United Nations of 9 December 1988, Body of Principles for the Protection of All Persons under Any Form of Detention or Imprisonment Principle 13.
