NATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM AGAINST TORTURE AND ILL-TREATMENT 2019 issues with pluming (leakage outside the container that flooded the rooms of the containers) and, as a result, detainees were forced to make improvised barriers using their bedding. With the exception of the wing that had just opened, the cleaning regime inside and outside the containers was poor. The same thing also applied for the beddings. In the Minors Department, apart from the on-duty police officer, there was a Coordinator who was responsible for the minors and personnel that provided healthcare, psychological and social support services. During the time of the inspection, these services were undertaken by the Health Units S.A that provided a social worker and psychologist to the center. The Health Units S.A informed us that minors' appointments with a psychologist or social worker were made following a doctor's reference which meant that there were minors who had never seen a social worker or psychologist during protective custody. Furthermore, there were many reported violent incidents according to the book of incidents that were mostly related with bullying, pressures and extortion between detainees. Furthermore, there was no equipment for leisure activities in the detention area for unaccompanied minors or families with small children. Minors wandered around aimlessly, doing nothing, which undoubtedly undermined their own condition but also their co-existence with others in the center. The limited yard area around the containers had no sports equipment available. In its inspection report, the Mechanism reiterates its solid position that the accommodation of unaccompanied minors in detention facilities constitutes an explicit violation of their rights and puts their development in immediate danger. In order to comply with its international obligations, Greece must establish more specialized accommodation facilities and guest houses for minors where children will be placed right after they are tracked in a manner that shall ensure the protection of their rights. Notwithstanding the illegal character of the detention of minors, which has been the cause for numerous ECHR convictions against Greece, it must be stressed that the deprivation of freedom in the case of unaccompanied children takes place in utterly unsuitable conditions because the Pre-removal Detention Centers lack the proper infrastructure and necessary human resources to function, even for short periods of time, as facilities for the deprivation of freedom in the form of protective custody or/and administrative detention. 54
