- 19 Further, many of the cells were dilapidated and in need of renovation, and the sanitary annexes often contained blistering and mouldy walls and broken plumbing. The prison management informed the delegation of a rolling programme to refurbish (i.e. paint) each wing but the delegation found that even the recently refurbished Wing I could not be considered as offering decent living conditions. The wings were airy and cold and the radiators in the cells did not function. In addition, to the cold, many prisoners complained about the claustrophobic conditions, the lack of hot water and the damp in the cells. Further, water pressure was too low on the upper floors for the water to flow properly and the quality of the water was poor, requiring inmates to purchase bottled water. In view of the aged and dilapidated buildings and the lack of space on the wings, the CPT recommends that, at Corfu Prison, the Greek authorities take urgent steps to reduce the occupancy levels to no more than one person per cell. Further, a programme of refurbishments, including as regards the operation of the radiators, fixing the plumbing and protecting the walls from condensation, should be carried out in each wing, and detained persons should have access to clean drinking water free of charge. 30. At Chios Prison, the accommodation consisted of nine dormitories (the last of which was in the final stages of being refurbished and was not in use). At the time of the visit, only two dormitories offered slightly more than 4m² per person while three dormitories offered less than 3m².19 In addition to overcrowding, material conditions and hygiene in the dormitories were generally poor (windowpanes missing or broken, no heating, insufficient hygiene and cleaning products and the presence of cockroaches, lice and bed bugs). Further, only some detained persons had access to lockable space. At Kos Prison, the information gathered showed that each of the three dormitories was severely overcrowded,20 with persons detained in Dormitory 1 being offered less than 2m² of living space each and those held in Dormitories 2 and 3 being provided with less than 3m² each. The delegation also noted that in Dormitories 1 and 3 two persons had to sleep on mattresses placed on top of the ceiling of the sanitary annexe and several others in Dormitory 1 slept on mattresses on the floor. When the prison was not locked down, prisoners reportedly had access to a large exercise yard with a football pitch, basketball court and fitness equipment and could eat their meals communally in the dining room. The CPT calls upon the Greek authorities to reduce the occupancy levels in the dormitories at both Chios and Kos Prisons to ensure that each prisoner is provided with at least 4m² of living space, excluding the sanitary annexe. The unoccupied bunk beds in certain of the dormitories should be removed. Steps should also be taken to maintain the dormitories in a decent state of repair and to ensure that they are regularly disinfected and that prisoners are provided with sufficient cleaning materials to keep themselves and their cells clean. 19 20 Dormitory 1 measured 48m², was equipped with 11 sets of bunk beds and held 16 persons; Dormitory 5 measured 42m², was equipped with 9 sets of bunk beds and held 16 persons; and Dormitory 7 measured 42m², was equipped with 9 sets of bunk beds and held 17 persons. Each of the three dormitories was equipped with 15 sets of bunk beds: Dormitory 1 held 36 persons in 66m², Dormitory 2 held 26 persons in 70m² and Dormitory 3 held 27 persons in 66m².
