When visiting PS Gorišnica, we expressed our expectation that the renovation of the room for longer detention would be completed in the shortest time possible, so that the room would again serve its purpose. The MNZ replied that the room would be used again after the repair of the toilet cistern had been completed. To avoid any complaints that the communication device enables police officers to listen to private conversation between the detained person and their lawyer, we proposed that PS Gorišnica examine the possibility of disconnecting the communication device in the room for lawyers. The MNZ replied that the PS would provide a suitable room under video surveillance for private conversations between detained persons and their lawyers until a technical solution for disconnecting the communication device is found. We proposed that PS Kranj mark the interview rooms used for questioning detained persons and their conversations with lawyers with the numbers 1 to 3. The MNZ replied that the interview rooms had been marked. Although the detention rooms at PS Kranjska Gora are not being used, we determined during the visit that bed linen, mattresses and MNZ brochures on the rights of detained persons were still in the rooms, so we proposed that the relevant equipment be removed. The MNZ replied that it was evident from the notification in front of the rooms that the rooms were not in use; the equipment would remain in the rooms for pupils of various schools who visit the station. We suggested that PS Krško paint the inside of metal doors in both rooms and that the walls in the rooms from which plaster came off be renovated as soon as possible. The MNZ replied that the premises were in need of comprehensive renovation, which would be done once the property manager started working at the station. Furthermore, we proposed that PS Krško repair flushing in the toilet and the water supply to the wash basin in the women’s toilet in the waiting room for aliens, and to make sure that the water supply and suitable flushing of toilets are checked at least occasionally. The MNZ replied that the expert service of Novo mesto Police Directorate would repair the toilet cistern and water supply in the toilets of the premises for processing aliens (female section); although these premises are seldom used, police officers would check the functioning of bathroom fittings more frequently. We proposed that PS Laško implement renovation works in detention rooms as soon as possible, since the use of these premises would certainly contribute to unburdening of police officers and the efficient utilisation of premises intended for detaining people. The MNZ replied that the detention premises at this PS would not be used after the renovation works, since the station was not open 24 hours per day. Furthermore, no major renovation of the building was anticipated, because the building had poor hydro insulation; it was damp and located in an area at high risk of flooding We proposed that water taps be repaired in both detention rooms at PS Ljubljana Bežigrad, since water was splashing all over the rooms, and that the toilet flush also be fixed.
