ANNUAL SPECIAL REPORT 2018 43 available (Heraklion Transfer Department, Corfu Police Department, Thermi, Mygdonia and Agios Athanasios Immigration Management Departments) or exists but is not used for safety reasons (Pangrati and Kypseli Police Departments), mainly due to insufficient number of guards. ii. Guarding and separation of detainees The insufficient number of guards affects not only the limited use of yards, but also, and crucially, the security of detainees, as has been observed in the Kissamos Police Department, which is not designed to be a detention facility, and on 15 February, a detainee was hanged at a point not visible to the cameras. Almost everywhere, in violation of the law, administrative and criminal prisoners are detained in the absence of the possibility of practical separation (Heraklion Transfer Department, Trikala, Kos, Pangrati and Kipseli Police Departments). iii. Capacity and cleanness By constantly redistributing the administrative prisoners, ELAS tries to keep their number per department within the prescribed capacity limits. However, as the NPM's inspection numbers have identified in certain cases, even the officially declared capacity is nominal and does not correspond to the actual situation, as there are not enough built-in beds, and most detainees sleep on the floor (Migration Management Departments of Thermi and Mygdonia). Finally, overcrowding inevitably causes a lack of effective care and maintenance of the premises, resulting in a lack of cleanliness and failure to repair the prisons (Police Departments of Kissamos, Kos, Rhodes, Kypseli). Sometimes, conditions are absolutely suffocating, dangerous to health and beyond limit of human endurance and dignity (Department of Patras). However, given that under these conditions, criminal detainees are being transferred, the consequences of these problematic health conditions are transferred to other prisons. ●
