The sanitary situation of the medical operating room is not satisfactory, and the room is isolated from medical reception only by a curtain. Quarantine section consists of 2 parts, which are designed to accommodate 28 and 38 prisoners. The cell has concrete floor, the two-tier beds and individual lockers. Each cell has 3 windows, which have the inside metal grid, and the outside metal bars, limiting the penetration of natural light in the cells and preventing the air movement. The cells have no artificial ventilation. In the 2014 Annual Report to the Parliament, the Public Defender addressed the Minister of Corrections with the recommendation to ensure proper natural and artificial ventilation of residential, solitary confinement and quarantine cells, which was fulfilled only with regards to residential cells. Although, the problem of lack of natural and artificial ventilation remains in solitary confinement and quarantine cells, the recommendation with regards to the arrangement of the yards was implemented - in 2015 volleyball field was arranged, table tennis equipment installed and garden equipped with exercise tools, benches were installed in the second and third residential yards, which is a positive development. The requirement to ensure the privacy of showers was also fulfilled by the partition of the showers. The recommendation to separate the reception room of the Medical Unit from the operating room has not been met. 2.4.1.11.
