- 20 42. The Amygdaleza Facility for Juveniles offered mainly appropriate conditions. The four large dormitories were equipped with plinths and had sufficient access to light, both natural and artificial. In addition, there was an outside yard as well as a large activity room equipped with computers and a television set. However, as the dormitories did not have in-cell toilet facilities, the juveniles might have to resort to using plastic bottles at night. At the time of the visit, the facility held 42 juveniles for an overall capacity of 40. 43. In the special facilities for irregular migrants and the police holding facilities visited, the detainees experienced difficulties keeping themselves clean, due to the insufficient quantities of detergents and products for personal hygiene. In view of the already precarious medical condition of many of the persons concerned, the Greek authorities should consider (personal) hygiene as a priority area. 44. With respect to all the centres visited, the CPT calls upon the Greek authorities to ensure that: - occupancy rates are revised so as to offer a minimum of 4m² of space per detainee; - all detainees are offered a bed or plinth, blanket and mattress, all clean; - all detainees have unimpeded access to toilet facilities, including at night; - all detainees are allowed to spend a large proportion of the day outside their cells and to have at least one hour of outdoor exercise a day; - sufficient quantities of detergent and products for personal hygiene are made available at all times to detainees. c. regime issues 45. The CPT’s delegation observed that detained irregular migrants continue to be provided with the same regime as criminal suspects; the drafting of minimum operating standards for special facilities for irregular migrants, as required by Article 81 of the Aliens Law, is still ongoing. By consequence, almost three years after the Aliens Law entered into force, there is no regulation in place that sets criteria for the regime to be offered to detained irregular migrants. The CPT’s findings once again indicate that there is an urgent necessity to adopt such standards, guaranteeing a diversified regime, with activities and recreation, including the possibility of one hour of daily outdoor exercise. In addition, norms with respect to the provision of appropriate medical and social care should be included in the operating standards, as well as issues related to the maintenance of order and discipline. At present, no guidance is given to law enforcement officials assigned to the facilities on the measures to be taken in the event of a disturbance or breakdown in order; staff are left to improvise. Similar operating standards should be introduced for the police holding facilities. The CPT recommends that the Greek authorities take the necessary steps to draw up and implement, as soon as possible, operating standards for both the special facilities for irregular migrants and police holding facilities.
