- 44 120. As at Korydallos, the prison regime was rich in out-of-cell time but poor in activities. Prisoners were allowed to move within their detention wings and to have access to the courtyard during eight hours or more per day. The courtyards were of a good size and wellsurfaced, and therefore quite suitable for outdoor games. In addition, a number of small rooms were set aside for weight-training activities. Three physical education instructors assisted with the organisation of sports and games in the prison. The situation was less favourable as regards other activities. Few prisoners had work (there were 112 work places i.e. 1 work place for 6 prisoners), and most of the work which was available had little vocational value. Further, there were no educational classes and no library (save a small collection of books in the social worker's office). To sum up, as in the other establishments visited, the activities of the great majority of prisoners consisted essentially of outdoor exercise, association and watching television in their cells. Such a regime is not adequate, and is particularly undesirable for juveniles and for prisoners serving lengthy sentences. 121. The report on the inspection of Larissa Prison carried out at the delegation's request (cf. paragraph 101) sets out 19 measures to be taken without delay to improve conditions of detention in the establishment, and the CPT is pleased to note from the related correspondence forwarded with the inspection report that certain of those measures have already been implemented: notably, the transfer of the juvenile prisoners to the Kassavetia Rural Reformatory and the transfer of the prisoners located in the kitchen area to the area formerly occupied by the juveniles. As regards more particularly juvenile prisoners, the CPT wishes to reiterate the comments made at paragraph 116 and would like to receive information on the physical conditions of detention and regime for juveniles at the Kassavetia Rural Reformatory. 122. The CPT trusts that all of the measures set out in the inspection report will be implemented in the near future and would like to receive an update on progress being made in this regard. Further, the CPT recommends: - that the quality of the beds and bedclothes provided to prisoners be improved; - that the state of the toilet and washing facilities in the sanitary annexes be reviewed and, as required, those facilities restored to a good state of repair; - that in addition to providing more work places and vocational training possibilities for prisoners (i.e. measure 16), activity programmes in general (including education, sport and recreational activities) be developed: - in this connection, the Prison Director's suggestion that an indoor area for sports activities be built (cf. his letter of 10 August 1993 to the Ministry of Justice's Directorate of Technical Services) deserves careful consideration. It should also be emphasised that the priority of priorities must be - through one means or another - to reduce substantially the present level of overcrowding at Larissa Prison: if this is not achieved, attempts to improve conditions of detention within the establishment will inevitably founder.
