The complete lack of windows in the Chon-Alai District IAB TDF, in the one-man cell of the Issyk-Kul Oblast IAB TDF, as well as in three cells of the Osh City IAD TDF and three cells of the Djail District IAB TDF. Kara-Suu District IAB TDF has windows, but one cannot see what is outdoors since the TDF is located in the basement of the IAB. The observers discovered inadequate conditions for reading in some IAB TDFs cells given artificial lighting. For instance, in the Bazarkorgon and Issyk-Ata District IAB TDF cells, there are no artificial lighting lamps. They are located in the corridor, and the light enters the cell only through a small hole in the frame above the door. Artificial lighting in the cells of the Tash-Kumyr and Kara-Kul city IAB TDFs, and Sokuluk, Toktogul, Aksy and Ala-Buka District IAB TDFs is very weak, because an artificial light bulb, which is located in the corridor, is covered by a lattice-grid. Although the bulb is on 24 hours a day, the light is dim in the cells and it is impossible to read or write. Artificial lighting does not enable one to see remote corners of the cell. g) Ventilation The observers noted that it was very stuffy in the cells of 10 (21.3%) TDFs, nor was it possible to air them. When monitoring the Uzgen and Djail District IAB TDFs, it was revealed that in summer it was unbearably hot in the cells, there was no natural air ventilation, and artificial ventilation system was out of order. The observers noted that it is dark, cold and damp in all the cells of the Tyup District IAB TDF, there is sharp odor there and mold fungus on the walls. The devices for artificial ventilation are installed in the Kadamzhai District IAB TDF, but this makes little difference. In summer it is very hot in the cells, and in autumn and winter it is very wet, the mold is formed on the walls. The same situation can be seen in the Djail District IAB TDF. Window in TDF. There are installations for artificial air ventilation in the Karasu ciy IAB TDF, but they do not work because of frequent power cut-offs. There is virtually no air in the Issyk-Ata District IAB TDF cells, the only window in the cell is closed by the grate and net that does not let air in. In 2010, according to the TDF administration, the ventilation motor was replaced, but it works poorly and generates a lot of noise. All of the detainees of the TDF complained to the observers that ventilation creates a lot of noise with no increase in the air flow. h) Heating Since the monitoring was conducted in the summer-autumn period, it appeared impossible to assess the quality of the TDF heating system. The analysis of compliance with this standard was based on the information obtained during the interviews. Depending on the month of observation, the average temperature in the cells was 25-30 C in summer and 18-22 C - in autumn. Heating in TDF. According to the staff, in 13 (27.7%) TDFs, the central heating system is used, and electric heating is used in 22 (46.8%) of them. In those TDFs where the electric heating system is functioning the TDF switches to furnace heating in the event of outage. 40
