- 24 54. Following the transfer of the Prison for young male offenders to Avlona (cf. paragraph 58), the building previously occupied by it had been refurbished and transformed into accommodation for male prisoners (Unit 5). The new unit offered material conditions of a good standard. The cells and dormitories benefited from satisfactory access to natural light, ventilation and artificial lighting, and were adequately equipped (bunk beds with full bedding, bedside lockers, chairs, a table, shelves, TV sets). The in-cell toilets were appropriately partitioned, and each dormitory had a separate sanitary annexe (11 m²). Further, public phones had been installed in the corridors on each floor, and the indoor gym had been restored. 55. The CPT recommends that: - further efforts be made to reduce the occupancy rates at Korydallos Prison for men, in particular by holding no more than two prisoners per cell in the main accommodation building; - priority be given to the refurbishing of the cellular accommodation in wings A and D; - steps be taken to ensure that all prisoners have access to a suitable range of personal hygiene items. 56. In the 1997 visit report, the CPT recommended that the Greek authorities vigorously pursue efforts to develop the activity programmes at Korydallos Prison for men. At the time of the 1999 visit, the number of inmates who worked had risen to 370 (as opposed to 295 in 1997). However, taking into account the increased number of prisoners at the establishment, this meant that the proportion of those with work had in fact decreased. The CPT recommends that the Greek authorities step up their efforts to provide work and other organised activities to both remand and sentenced prisoners at Korydallos Prison for men. 57. Despite the recommendations made by the CPT in both the 1993 and 1997 visit reports, conditions of detention in the establishment’s disciplinary/segregation unit remained unchanged. Further, as was the case in 1997, some of the cells in that unit were being used for prisoners segregated for their own protection (including several mentally disturbed prisoners). Consequently, the CPT must re-iterate the recommendations made in paragraph 178 of the 1997 visit report5, and request the Greek authorities to take immediate steps to implement them. 5 I.e. that cells in the segregation unit used to accommodate prisoners segregated for a non-disciplinary reason be equipped in the same way as an ordinary prison cell; that cells used for disciplinary purposes be fitted with a table and chair, if necessary, fixed to the floor; that the regimes applicable to persons held in the isolation/segregation unit be expressly laid down; that if, exceptionally, prisoners who are emotionally or psychologically disturbed have to be held temporarily in the segregation unit, they be kept under close observation.
