CONSOLIDATED REPORT were expressed about the deterioration of nutrition, cold temperature in the cells, strong humidity, rare change of bed clothes and the inability to wash in the bath because the water supplied from the battery has an unpleasant odor, there is no room for washing personal items. Visits in 2018 also revealed a number of issues that could be addressed by the leadership of these institutions. Thus, a visit to the establishment LA-155/16 of the Department of the penitentiary system in Almaty and Almaty oblast showed such issues as windows in some cells lacking glass, and covered by cellophane film. In this institution the beds with large holes were discovered, which made the mattresses fall in, and it was completely uncomfortable to sleep on them, according to the inmates. The conditions for privacy in the cells were not provided in this institution and a number of others. In some cells, the tenants themselves installed curtains made 61 from scrap materials. Such facts can be evaluated as humiliation of human dignity. Year after year, in their reports NPM members indicate a lack of natural light in cells. The reason for this is the small size of the windows in the cells and the excessive gridding of these windows. Also for these reasons, there is poor access to fresh air. During the reporting period, such facts were noted when visiting the establishment JD 158/1 of the Department of the penitentiary system in Zhambyl oblast. The issue of the pretrial detention center which is annually noted also includes the unsuitability of the sanitary equipment of the premises, the poor functioning of the sewage system and the lack of hot water in most cases. These issues were noted by NPM members in 2018, in particular, when visiting the institution AK-159/1 department of the penitentiary system of Karaganda oblast.
