38 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. (Almaty, Jambyl province, Aktobe, Karaganda (partially), Pavlodar, North Kazakhstan province) No special conditions for persons with disabilities are available in pre-trial detention centres (PTDCs), which means that the rights of persons with disabilities are not observed in PTDCs, there are no auxiliary aids, or special means of travel for persons with disabilities who are kept in PTDCs.
