MONITORING OF CUSTODIAL SETTINGS IN UKRAINE:
morning till 3 PM and the prisoners have use outside toilet that is never heated, in poor
technical condition, hardly cleaned and has a persistent foul smell; this toilet has no
partitions, lighting, toilet bowls or flushing water.
Higher security units at penitentiaries need to be made compatible with the requirements
of the law, they are mostly designed to hold from 10 to 50 people. Prisoner’s beds are in
usually in narrow long rooms, poorly lit and practically unventilated. Prisoners sleep on
two-tier bunks the number of which exceeds the allowed quantity according to the floor
area standards, as a result of which inmates hardly have any personal space.
Inner yard windows are so tightly barred that hardly let natural light in, and the toilet
and washing stand are separated from the common area by a low partition that does not
provide adequate privacy.
