CONSOLIDATED REPORT
The
majority
of
accommodation buildings are
two-storey facilities with cells.
Cells are typically equipped
with a solid metal door and
barred windows.
There are metal blinds,
and no light could penetrate.
The cells are badly in need of
repair. In many facilities the
plaster went off the walls,
wooden floors are rotten with
gaps. Wind blows through
old window frames. Cells
are equipped with metal
bunk-beds.
The facilities
and community service areas
do not meet international
standards, and a major
overhaul is needed. The sewer
and water supplies require
repair in all correctional
facilities both at the unit level
and countrywide.
