- 34 b. regime 74. At the time of the visit to Alicarnassos Prison, 105 prisoners out of 221 had a job in the prison’s general services (maintenance and cleaning duties) and workshops. However, for many of them, this involved only a small part of the day or occasional work. The prison’s workshops (woodcarving, carpentry, pottery), which employed 30 prisoners on a half-time basis, were well equipped and maintained. Twenty-four out of 87 prisoners had a job at Khania Prison, mostly repair and maintenance work within the establishment. The prison had no workshops. At Korydallos Prison for Men, 371 out of 2,107 inmates were offered some form of employment, i.e. approximately the same as in 1999, despite a significant rise in the establishment's inmate population. In addition to the prison's general services, inmates were employed in the carpentry and bookbinding workshops, and ten of them provided clerical assistance in the prison's administration. At Malandrino Prison, 69 out of 139 inmates were offered work in the prison’s general services (cleaning, kitchen, laundry); they were all trustee prisoners who had been assigned to work in the establishment. As in the other establishments visited, most of those jobs involved little time (e.g. about two hours per day for inmates assigned to cleaning duties). Sizeable premises had been set aside for workshops, but they had not yet been equipped or staffed. The establishment’s management could not provide an indication as to the number of prisoners that would be employed in the workshops. 75. Alicarnassos provided adult education to a handful of prisoners and, in all four prisons, inmates could borrow books from the library; at Korydallos, the library had been relocated and enlarged/improved. No other form of organised activity, whether educational, cultural or sports, was being offered to prisoners. At Malandrino, classrooms and sports facilities were foreseen but, as was the case for workshops, they had yet to be furnished and staffed. The CPT is particularly disappointed to note that the education and vocational training programmes which had been developed in certain prisons (e.g. at Alicarnassos and Korydallos) with European Union financial assistance (cf. CPT/Inf (2001) 19, page 113) had been discontinued when that funding came to an end. 76. To sum up, the vast majority of inmates held in the four establishments visited spent the bulk of their day in complete idleness; their main distractions were to watch television in their cells/dormitories and to associate with fellow-prisoners. A large number of prisoners interviewed in the course of the visit complained of this situation; many of them also resented the fact that they were not in a position to earn remission through work.
