MONITORING OF CUSTODIAL SETTINGS IN UKRAINE:
The range of foodstuffs and essentials in
on-site stores does not meet the minimum
approved by the State Penitentiary Service
of Ukraine.
114 articles recommended for on-site sale
by the State Penitentiary Service of Ukraine
the said institution in 2013 was offering
only 35 articles.
On the day of the visit to Stryzhavka (No. 81)
and Kolomyia (No. 41) penitentiaries the onsite stores were closed and the lists of goods
did not feature a number of essentials and
underwear. Available cigarettes were of one
make only. On the day of the visit to Bucha
penitentiary (No. 85) its prisoners could buy
only cigarettes and tea. Out of the list of
Furnishings in the rooms for short-term
visits of relatives in some institutions
are rather shabby, such rooms are not
properly maintained and some of them are
totally unsuitable for use and, therefore,
negatively affect the course of short-term
visits.
Ivano-Frankivsk remand prison
During the visit of the monitoring team to Shepetivka (No. 98) and Berdychiv (No. 70)
penitentiaries the temperature in the rooms for long-term visits ranged from +10 to +14
C. Moreover, such rooms had poor natural lighting and some were not cleaned. Hot water
is supplied to such rooms for only 2 hours a day, which does not give enough comfort to
visitors.
