- 47 By communication of 30 June 2015, the Ministry of Justice informed the Committee that the corridor was no longer used to accommodate prisoners and that a special dormitory for vulnerable prisoners had been established. The CPT welcomes these steps. 76. The CPT recommends that the Greek authorities take the necessary steps to reduce the occupancy levels at Nafplio Prison in order to ensure that each prisoner has his own bed and that no prisoner is obliged to sleep on the floor. Further, within the cells and dormitories, each prisoner should be offered a minimum of 4m² of personal living space. To this end, the CPT would like to receive a clear timetable with specific benchmarks on how the Greek authorities will implement this recommendation. The CPT also recommends that the in-cell sanitary facilities be fully partitioned. 77. As regards the general daily routine in Greek prisons, the situation has not evolved since the previous visit in 2013.52 The range of activities (work, vocational training, education, organised physical exercise, cultural and recreational activities) and the number of places available remains totally insufficient for the number of prisoners. Moreover, many “jobs” were created and rotated in order to enable prisoners to earn time off their sentences in line with early release schemes. The lack of jobs creates tension as most prisoners are only provided with cleaning work for three months before having to wait a year or more before being offered another three months. Only a few jobs (kitchen, skilled prison maintenance work) are for longer periods. Further, the CPT considers that the approach to work should be a means of engaging prisoners in a purposeful activity or of forming part of a personal development plan or preparation for release rather than merely a remission scheme.53 The situation found at Alikarnassos Prison was the most favourable, with 169 prisoners (i.e. 75%) offered some work activity, although for 92 of them it only consisted of limited cleaning work. The secondary education school was also operational at this prison. In addition, efforts were made to promote activities in the prison such as gardening and a special communal meal to celebrate Orthodox Easter. Nevertheless, there were no vocational programmes in place or courses to address offending behaviour or any specific activities to prepare prisoners for return to the community. The CPT once again calls upon the Greek authorities to increase the number of work opportunities in prisons, preferably work with a vocational value. Further, it wishes to be informed of the provision of educational classes (Second Chance School, educational training and language classes) at Alikarnassos, Korydallos Men’s and Diavata Prisons for the academic year 2015-2016. 52 53 See CPT/ Inf (2014) 26, paragraphs 111 to 114.
