Communication issues were also frequently mentioned, with no availability of translators, particularly for Farsi speakers, leading to individuals missing their opportunity to lodge an asylum application or appeal. In addition, people were reportedly never informed of how long they would be held in Corinth. Several detainees described the critical lack of access to asylum procedures in Corinth, and that most people got negative decisions hence being kept for extensive periods of time, before being released with a police note. Regular deportations from Corinth are not taking place, although ERBB noted that since the bilateral agreement in 2022, people are being returned to Pakistan and Bangladesh. The quality of food and hygiene conditions reported were extremely poor, with a third of individuals citing this as the main challenge they experienced. Food is provided three times per day in Corinth, but was reported as not fresh, often spoiled and several days old. A severe lack of medical care was expressed, with one doctor present who only provides support in extremely urgent cases. Detainees are reportedly forced to wait several months before they receive health care. Individuals also frequently mentioned being quarantined for over one month on the grounds of COVID-19 measures, restricting their already limited freedom further. One psychologist is present in Corinth, yet detainees reported it being incredibly difficult to access regardless of the fact that severe psychological ill-health was indicated by over 90% of individuals when they were in detention. Our interviewees explained that access to outdoor spaces is restricted, and no other activities are provided leading to a general situation of dire mental health. As a result of these conditions and prolonged periods of being imprisoned in legal limbo, tensions among detainees was also frequently reported, with fights breaking out as people struggled to gain access to basic necessities. Interviewees also explained that the authorities routinely manipulated detainees in order to amplify tensions between them, for example, by purposefully providing rooms next door to each other with or without air conditioning, or other facilities. Our research also found that individuals in Corinth experienced the longest periods of time in detention, with an average of seven months and with reports of people held for beyond 18 months. There was a general perception by people who were held in Corinth, civil society actors and by the community that being detained in Corinth was one of the worst of all the PRDCs, and that once people were there, it took a long time for them to be released. Corinth was consistently referred to as worse than prison. Lastly, ‘difficult cases’ were often reported to be transferred to Corinth, for example, individuals who protested the poor conditions in other PRDCs. Source: Corinth PRDC cell, MIT respondent There is a really small space to go out. We couldn't do any exercise or walk around. It was about 14 metres. Just.. I don't know how to explain this, in 14 metres how it could be possible to do exercise or to walk? In the winter, I don't know exactly, but the place that I was living in, it was really cold and freezing. When I asked them to give me an extra blanket or clothes they said we don't have it here. Also, because when the weather is cold it hurts more. When I asked them for anything they just ignored it. Hussein, Corinth Never, they never move anybody to the public hospital. They just they said you can drink some water. Sayed, Corinth ‘I’m sick, I need to see a doctor’ they don’t care about it, they just send them to a room where there is no light to see anyone. For example, one of my friends had psychological problems and he had bad mental health so when he said that they just didn't care about it they just ignored everything. Abdul, Corinth 23
