3.3. TEMPORARY DETENTION ISOLATORS The positive changes made concerning TDIs were already discussed in the introduction. The faulty practices of examination of injuries on arrested persons by medical professionals employed in TDIs and documenting these injures were addressed as well. This subchapter concerns the rest of the shortcomings identified during the monitoring. One of the challenges in the reporting period was the absence of medical centres in 14 TDIs which is half of the number of TDIs under the Department of Temporary Detention Isolation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (29 in total). A problem of understaffing of TDIs was identified as well. It should be particularly mentioned that there are no female employees in 21 TDIs, which creates problems during personal examination of women to be placed in TDIs. A number of Isolators are not provided with adequate systems of natural and artificial ventilation or light; sanitation and hygiene are not satisfactory; privacy of WCs in cells is not properly ensured. This is particularly problematic in multiple-occupancy cells where an arrested person attends to nature call in the presence of another person/s. Each arrested person is supplied only with dry food in isolators which is harmful to health. 3.4. ADDITIONAL STATISTICAL DATA ON THE MINISTRY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS 3.4.1.

This allows following up injuries sustained before the admission to a TDI. Ranking TDIs does not imply that injuries have been inflicted in a TDI and it is only for maintaining statistics to make entries. 161 The number of persons placed in a TDI from 1 January 2018 until the date when monitoring was carried out. 162 For obtaining systematised information from case-files, the monitoring group used a specifically designed questionnaire. 62
