18 THE GREEK OMBUDSMAN treatment and chemotherapy. Patients may not choose a private practice for those treatments. Ioannina Detention Facility At the time of the inspection, it was observed that there were a hundred and ten (110) inmates, with the facility’s capacity coming up to sixty six (66) people. There were thirty four (34) wardens, one (1) social worker, two (2) psychologists, two (2) general physicians, one serving in a permanent position and the other on a five-year tenure, and one (1) dentist on a non-regular basis. The wardens complained of the shortage of security personnel, which deterred them form taking their normal days off, over 1000 of which remain overdue. There was no Second Chance School at the Facility, nor any KETHEA program. The visting team was informed that there was a specific amount of drug addicted prisoners suffering from withdrawal, who distress over the lack of a KETHEA program. Furthermore, Social Service informed the visiting team that there was a high percentage of financially deprived prisoners. As a result, there is an imperative need for clothing, sanitary items, telephone cards and cigarettes. Efforts are made to cover those needs through donations, as the Facility’s financial resources are insufficient. Corfu Detention Facility The Ombudsman once again states its consistent position that use of this Facility should be abolished, due to its age and spatial structure. The facilities’ architecture reflects the penitentiary policy of 1836, when it was built, during English occupation. It is therefore unfit for use according to modern penitentiary policy standards, according to which prisoners are subjects of rights, deprived only of the right to free movement; if it is continued to be used, the kitchen area should be immediately reconstructed. We were informed that the Ministry has issued a decision as to this matter, albeit it has not been implemented yet. Moreover, the Facility lacks Social Service staff, workshops and educational seminars. There is a doctor and a dentist, but four (4) wardens are also charged with nursing duties. The library is currently being adapted for a second chance school planned to start operating. Rural Prison of Kassandra The Facility spans across 4.200 acres, of which 1.000 are the property of TAIPED. At the time of inspection, (20.11.2017) there were two hundred and eighty (280) prisoners in total, in both the “closed part” and the “day-release part”. The Facility has a capacity of three hundred and eight (308) prisoners. The building infrastructure is especially old, since the Facility was established
