The cells in establishment no. 3 have their small windows rather high and the walls are half a metre thick. Therefore, sunrays do not reach the cells properly. There is no sufficient natural light and ventilation in accommodation cells. The windows in de-escalation and solitary confinement rooms would not open. Accordingly, natural ventilation is not available for prisoners in these cells. The small windows in the cells of establishment no. 7 are covered by several layered grating (75x43 cm), due to which neither air nor sunrays can properly reach into cells. The ventilation system of the establishment cannot ensure artificial airing of the accommodation cells.118 There is insufficient natural light in the cells. Artificial ventilation is not installed in the sanitary facilities of accommodation cells of establishment no. 6 and ventilation in the cells is insufficient. It is stifling and smells bad in the cells. Common showers in the second accommodation building are only ventilated naturally. There is no natural ventilation in the short visits booths (windows are locked with a padlock). There is a malfunctioning artificial ventilation system in the accommodation, waiting (quarantine) cells and investigative rooms of establishments nos. 5 and 8 as well as in the room for meeting with lawyers in establishment no. 15. Similar conditions were observed in accommodation, waiting, solitary confinement rooms and shower rooms at establishment no. 2. Artificial ventilation system is not installed at all in the solitary confinement cells at establishment no. 8. Dampness is noticeable in some cells of penitentiary establishments nos. 2119, 8, and 17. The waiting rooms of establishment no. 8 are partially underground and, therefore, there is insufficient light and ventilation in these cells; the windows would not open in de-escalation rooms. Hence, natural ventilation is not accessible for prisoners. The light switches and plugs are ripped out in shower rooms and electricity system fails to comply with safety rules. Artificial light is insufficient. There are no benches and hangers for personal items (clothes, towels, etc.) in the shower rooms. Artificial ventilation system is not functioning in the accommodation cells of penitentiary establishments nos. 9, and 15. The existing ventilation system in the accommodation cells of establishment nos. 17 similarly cannot provide proper ventilation. There is no artificial ventilation in the cells of closed type building of the same establishment and natural and artificial light is insufficient. The central heating system in establishment no. 15 does not provide sufficient heating in the cells. There is a concrete floor in accommodation cells in penitentiary establishments nos. 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 14, and 15, which may have ramifications for prisoners’ health. It is necessary to repair electrical equipment in all the accommodation cells of the main accommodation building of establishment no. 12 since the wiring does not comply with safety rules. 118 The cells located on the ground floor are especially problematic. 119 Dampness was particularly obvious in the ground and first floor cells of accommodation buildings. 70 HUMAN RIGHTS SITUATION IN CLOSED INSTITUTIONS
