- 46 At Korydallos, the visiting entitlement - of 30 minutes per week - was not always being respected; many prisoners stated (and staff confirmed) that they were authorised only two visits per month lasting a mere 20 minutes each. The CPT recommends that the Greek authorities ensure that prisoners enjoy at least the visiting entitlement of 30 minutes per week provided for in Article 52 of the Prison Law, and that they strive to offer more generous visiting time to prisoners. 106. As regards the conditions in which visits took place, the booths at Malandrino offered adequate conditions for restricted visits. The facilities seen at the other three establishments displayed much the same shortcomings highlighted by the CPT following previous visits (cf. CPT/Inf (94) 20, paragraph 128): often prisoners and visitors had to shout to make themselves heard, they could hardly see each other, and they were rarely provided with seats. Conditions were particularly poor at Khania Prison, where the prisoner and his visitors were kept some distance apart by a multiple barrier of metal bars, glass and wire mesh, and at Alicarnassos, where visits took place in a deafening cacophony of prisoners and visitors all shouting at the same time in a vain attempt to make themselves heard. The CPT recommends that conditions in the visiting booths be reviewed, in the light of the above remarks. Moreover, the CPT sees no justification for the present system, under which the majority of prisoners are denied physical contact with their visitors, often during lengthy periods. Closed visiting arrangements might be necessary in certain circumstances, but should not constitute the rule. Consequently, the CPT recommends that the Greek authorities review visiting arrangements for prisoners in order to ensure that they are in principle able to receive visits under reasonably open conditions. 107. At Malandrino, visits were rare occurrences. The prison’s geographical isolation requires that close attention be paid to the organisation of visits at that establishment. The CPT recommends that the Greek authorities draw up special rules on visiting arrangements at Malandrino (and any other similarly located prisons in Greece). Such rules should, inter alia, address the length of visits, the arrangements under which they take place and possible forms of assistance to visitors. c. segregation 108. The provisions of the Prison Law on disciplinary sanctions and procedures do not call for specific comments; on the whole they now comply with the recommendations made by the CPT in previous visit reports. This is also the case as regards administrative segregation.21 Further, the delegation noted that little recourse was had to segregation for disciplinary purposes. 21 Cf. Articles 21.3 and 65 to 71 of Law 2776, of 22 December 1999, as well as CPT/Inf (2001) 18, paragraph 176.
