TDFs. Percentage of persons with and without prior conviction Three out of the total number of respondents were serving administrative punishment in TDFs under internal affairs bodies in the form of administrative detention. Pre-trial detention facilities Pre-trial detention facilities are part of regional penal service units and serve as places of detention for persons charged with committing offences who face detention as a pre-trial restriction, and places for serving prison terms for convicts who are left in PDFs to carry out maintenance works. In total, there are six active pre-trial detention facilities in the Kyrgyz Republic. As many as three PDFs under the SSEP were covered by the monitoring study: 1) Pre-trial detention facility No. 23 in Karakol; 2) Pre-trial detention facility No. 24 in Naryn; 3) Pre-trial detention facility No. 25 in Osh. As regards the other three PDFs: 1) Pre-trial detention facility No. 50 in Alga; 2) Pre-trial detention facility No. 21 in Bishkek; 3) Pre-trial detention facility No. 14 under the educational colony in Voznesenovka, it was not possible to carry out a monitoring study there, because the SSEP denied access to monitoring groups. This decision ran counter to the obligations of the SSEP before other partners within the Memorandum of Understanding. 36
