bined with the existence of a population with mixed migrant profiles, creates
severe communication problems. The problem of informing detainees about
the length of their detention is highlighted by various discussions with detainees, a problem that tends to be more intense in cases of unaccompanied
minors whose detention often exceeds one month.
iii. Corinth Pre-Removal Detention Centre
During the inspection of this pre-removal centre, one of the premises of
the facility remained closed due to a decrease in the number of detainees
as compared to the past. However, the 12-person dormitories with 2-level
bunk beds were found to be below the 4 m. specifications. per detainee in
public places of detention.
Positive signs, compared with previous observations, include the installation
of solar water heaters, the normalisation of the Autonomous Asylum Scale
procedures (an average of 471 applicants per month for registration and
two weeks for the interview), an increase in pre-hospitalisation hours and
recruitment, through AEMY, of nursing staff and a physician who has treated
the existing scabies problem.
There are also two social workers and a psychologist, who the detainees visit
only escorted by police, whenever this is possible in terms of the adequacy
of the staff at the Pre-removal centre. An Arabic interpreter covers only a
small number of the languages spoken by the detainees. Cleaning has also
been found to be inadequate, and a total lack of recreational activities remains a major problem. ●
