FORGOTTEN Administratively detained irregular migrants and asylum seekers Moreover, upon admission to the Center, the police staff is trying to provide detainees with information about their rights. In the briefing area, the rules of operation of the centre and detainees’ rights are posted. However, from our conversation with the detainees, it transpired that they lack information about their legal status due to lack of interpretation services. Pre-removal Detention Center of Orestias General Findings On April 25, 2016 we visited the Pre-removal Detention Center of Orestias. On that date, 112 people were detained. Four of them were asylum seekers, while the rest were detained until their transfer to the First Reception Center, in order to be subjected to first reception procedures. Among detainees there were families with under-aged children. We have not been given access to the inner sections of the holding facility, thus, we have not been able to form our own opinion on the spaces of detention. Detailed findings According to interviews and discussions with the detainees: Although there is enough space in the cells, there is lack of planning in order to separate vulnerable persons and families from the rest of the detained population. One of the detainees told us that his child suffered from a breathing problem caused by smoking in the center. There is no air-conditioning in the cells. People are provided with bed sheets which are dirty. Access to hygiene facilities may be free, but there is no hot water, so the use of the facility is impossible, especially for children and babies. Personal hygiene items are not provided and detainees need to buy them on their own. Clothing and shoes are not provided either. Regarding food provision, three meals are provided. However, the food is inadequate and of bad quality. In addition, no care is taken for the special nutritional needs of detainees. Some of them told us that they have to buy milk for their children at their own expense. There is no provision for recreational or other activities. There are TV sets only at the corridors. Also, there is no space for religious worship. 28
