- 27 56. In short, there has been no progress in addressing the shortcomings highlighted by the CPT over the years. Clearly, the provisions in the 1999 Prison Law, setting down the standards of accommodation and the norms for a safe environment, including health and hygiene, to be provided to each prisoner, were still not being complied with. Not only were hardly any positive developments observed since the September 2009 visit but, in the CPT’s view, the conditions of detention at Amfissa Prison in particular could still be described as amounting to inhuman and degrading treatment. 57. - - - The CPT calls upon the Greek authorities to: reduce the occupancy levels in the dormitories of Amfissa Prison to ensure that each prisoner is provided with at least 4m² of living space; devise a phased programme to reduce the occupancy levels in Korydallos Men’s and Women’s Remand Prisons from the current three or more prisoners per 9,5 m² cell to no more than two per cell; make concerted efforts to maintain the establishments visited in a good state of repair and to ensure that the accommodation areas in all prisons are kept clean and basic hygiene levels are guaranteed; ensure that inmates in all prisons have access to hot water both for reasons of personal hygiene as well as for washing bedding, clothes and dishes, and that they are allocated lockable space for their personal belongings. b. regime 58. The legal basis governing the general daily routine was described in the report on the 2005 35 visit . However, in spite of the clear legal provisions regulating the entitlement of all prisoners to inter alia educational and vocational training, work, organised physical exercise, cultural and recreational activities36, in none of the prisons visited was there a purposeful regime in place for the majority of prisoners. 59. The approach to work was described in the report on the 2009 visit37. It remains in essence a remission scheme (for example, a cleaner would obtain 23 days remission for every month worked) rather than a means by which to engage prisoners in a purposeful activity or to form part of a personal development plan or preparation for release. It is also a primary incentive for good behaviour. At Domokos Prison, for example, there were potentially 256 jobs available (for more than 600 prisoners), including 30 kitchen staff, 11 assistant nurses, 15 canteen workers and 125 cleaners. Work was allocated on a ‘first come first serve’ basis without any assessment of a prisoner’s needs. Prisoners would usually be granted work for three months at a time after which they would have to wait approximately six months before they were offered another job. 35 36 37 See CPT/Inf (2006) 41, paragraph 93.
