Bathrooms
and
showers
should be sufficient so that
each prisoner can use them at
a temperature appropriate to
the climate whenever possible
daily, but not less than 2 times
a week.
In the establishment LA
- 155/14 in Almaty oblast,
toilets are located next to all
the barracks. Their condition
cannot be described by
words. An unbearable fetid
odor can be felt in a distance
of a few meters, and it is
generally impossible to be
present in the toilet without
experiencing a vomiting
reflex. Convicts are forced
to relieve natural functions
in such conditions. And
this, at least, speaks of illtreatment of them, and such
a toilet conditions can lead to
massive infectious diseases.
Isolating a person from
society on the basis of the
decision of the authorized
body, the state undertakes
the responsibility to preserve
his or her health. The state is
obliged to create minimum
proper conditions for the
living of persons who are in
places of detention. All holes
CONSOLIDATED REPORT
are filled with feces, there
is no place to go to relieve
natural functions. Flushing
occurs by pouring water into
a Genoa bowl from bottles
(plastic containers), and in
some units with holding a
hose. There is no money for
the installation of new bowls
and the procurement of
components, according to the
chief. There is no money and
gasoline, which is necessary
for septic pumper trucks. It
turns out to be a dead end.
The situation is that there
is no money, the question
arises about the rational use
of funds allocated from the
state budget. According to
the prisoners, they are offered
to “relieve natural functions”
in plastic bags, if the convict
tries to go to the toilet of the
neighboring
detachment,
the guards threaten him
with weapons. Toilets in
this facility are the source
of the spread of infectious
diseases. In this regard, there
is a need to create a separate
independent commission that
will be authorized to conduct
a thorough inspection.
