The MNZ replied that the possibility of placing a wash basin in room 3 would be examined within the framework of renovation works, and the police officers would remove one mattress. When visiting PS Celje, we noticed black mould in the smaller office for admitting detained persons, so we proposed that the office be renovated as soon as possible. The MNZ replied that the problem with mould on the wall of the smaller office before the detention premises had not been eliminated yet. It was determined that the reasons for the occurrence of mould were the poor insulation of the exterior foundation and moisture flow; the final solution was linked with demanding and expensive renovation. The police officers would try to temporarily eliminate the problem with chemicals. We further proposed that PS Celje mark the rooms for discussions (room 17 and 16) (e.g. interview room 1 and interview room 2) accordingly and paint them; the room where detained persons may consult a lawyer should also be marked accordingly. The MNZ replied that rooms 17 and 16 would be marked accordingly and painted, and the room for discussions with a lawyer would also be marked. Finally, we proposed that, for hygienic reasons, PS Celje provide a sheet (e.g. a single use sheet) for detainees also when they are detained for a shorter time, unless there are reasons not to do this. The MNZ replied that the police officers of this PS would provide sheets at night also in the case of shorter detention, with the exception of circumstances that indicated a risk that a detained person might harm themselves (e.g. threat of suicide). We again proposed that PS Domžale examine the possibilities of suitably renovating detention rooms within their financial capacity. The MNZ replied that PS Domžale operated in leased facilities and thus renovating detention rooms was not anticipated at the time. All detentions take place in Ljubljana Police Detention Centre, which provides the highest procedural standards for detained persons; furthermore, there were no operational needs for the renovation. We proposed that PS Dravograd examine the possibility of installing a wash basin with running water also in the detention rooms for shorter detention marked 3 and 4 during the renovation works. The MNZ replied that the option would be examined and the deficiency would be eliminated if funds became available. We further proposed that PS Dravograd install non-slip material on the tiled stairs leading to detention rooms. The MNZ replied that the option would be examined and implemented within their budget. Finally, we determined when examining detention rooms at PS Dravograd that the windows ensure sufficient light, but also allow people walking on the nearby road to see into the room. We thus proposed that the option to install different glass (e.g. tinted glazing) be examined, which would prevent people seeing inside, but would not significantly reduce the level of daylight in the rooms. The MNZ replied that the option would be examined and the deficiency would be eliminated if funds became available. 112 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DUTIES AND POWERS OF THE NPM IN 2016 NATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM UNDER THE OPTIONAL PROTOCOL TO THE UN CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE AND OTHER CRUEL, INHUMAN OR DEGRADING TREATMENT OR PUNISHMENT
