Detention Conditions As previously highlighted, both applicants of international protection and third country nationals detained in view of removal are usually held together in PRDCs in Greece. In the event of these two legally defined groups being detained together, both EU legislation[211] and Greek law[212] require all detainees to be treated according to the conditions defined for applicants of international protection. As such, the conditions of detention will be analysed for both groups together. A Carceral Environment Similarly to detainees in Kos PRDC,[213] many respondents across Greece expressed their beliefs that detention facilities constituted a carceral environment. Of the people we spoke to almost 50% of the interviewees compared their PRDC to a prison. Over 20% of respondents mentioned being treated like criminals and four individuals reported being treated like animals. It should be noted that the comparison between the PRDC as a prison is unanimous among the detainees in Fylakio. The general use of surveillance equipment and architectures of security are evident across the PRDCs and are illustrated in photos. The presence of authorities carrying weapons, the use of CCTV cameras, the accommodation structures surrounded by barbed wire fences - in some cases PRDCs were double fenced - and the metal cages or barred cells used specifically by Corinth and Tavros (Petrou Ralli), are symbolic of a carceral landscape. This has been consistently raised by CPT reports, in 2014[214] the delegation regarded Fylakio and Tavros (Petrou Ralli) totally inappropriate in their carceral design, and in their follow up visit in 2016, the CPT expressed disappointment that the conditions remained the same. They never listened to us, like ... they just gave us some food, like criminals, their behaviour. They put food in front of the rooms and then after they just took it and that was it.
