- 29 71. The Psychiatric Unit at Korydallos Prison Complex was holding 182 patients at the time of the visit, both drug-addicts and mentally-ill patients. The delegation was informed that the presence of drug-addicts at the unit was soon to be brought to an end, as two de-toxification centres were scheduled to open in the near future (one of them was awaiting the appointment of staff in order to start functioning). The CPT would like to receive updated information on this issue. As in 1997, the Unit was overcrowded, its official capacity being 140 places. The staffing situation was also comparable to that recorded in 1997: one full-time psychiatrist, five visiting psychiatrists, eight nurses and one pharmacist. This staffing level falls short of what is required for the proper functioning of a psychiatric facility of such a capacity. The delegation was pleased to note that the “observation” unit (which was severely criticised in the CPT’s 1993 and 1997 visit reports) had been thoroughly refurbished, including the installation of air-conditioning. However, there was still no specific register for recording placements in the Unit’s isolation rooms. 72. In the light of its delegation’s observations, the CPT can only reiterate the recommendations made in the 1997 visit report that: - the Greek authorities take urgent steps to review the operation of the Psychiatric Unit at Korydallos Prison Complex, and in particular to recruit staff trained to provide a range of rehabilitative and therapeutic activities to patients; - all placements in an isolation room be recorded in a specific register, with an indication of the time at which the measure began and ended, the reasons for the measure and the doctor ordering it, the use of physical restraints, periodic supervision by nursing staff, etc.
