- 66 2. Corinth pre-departure centre 111. Corinth pre-departure centre was holding 267 male irregular migrants for a capacity of 1,536. In effect, only two of the eight buildings were occupied. Each building consisted of two floors with two wings per floor leading off a central staircase. On every wing, there were four dormitories (each measuring 33m²), each equipped with six sets of bunk beds and a sanitary annexe containing a toilet and a basin. There was also a communal shower room in each wing; on most of the floors visited only two of the five showers worked. Moreover, there was no hot water and the detainees were not provided with any hygiene products. As for activities, there was nothing offered, not even access to a television. Detained persons were allowed to go out to the yard adjoining each building for two hours every morning and afternoon, and there was a ball with which to improvise football games. 112. Many of the detained persons made allegations of ill-treatment by police officers at the time of their apprehension or at other facilities but they stated that the police officers at the Corinth centre treated them correctly. That said, the police officers had received no specific training to work with irregular migrants and their main task was to guard the perimeter of the fencing around each building, supervise the distribution of food twice a day and deal with individual requests; they rarely entered the actual accommodation areas. At the time of the visit, six officers were responsible for supervising the detainees and six for perimeter security with a further 18 officers on stand-by. For the irregular migrants, the main concerns related to a lack of information about their future and the poor access to health care. Indeed, since December 2014, there had been no regular presence of a doctor and the Hellenic Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (KEELPNO) stopped visiting the centre in March 2015. Consequently, an untrained officer found himself responsible for trying to manage the health care needs of several hundred irregular migrants. In the course of its visit to the centre, the delegation identified a number of persons who required medical treatment, including several with suspected scabies and one with suspected thrombosis in the leg. The medical files were – needless to say – incomplete. 113. In sum, the concept for the operation of pre-departure centres still remains based on a security approach with detainees treated in many respects as criminal suspects.75 In this respect, the recommendations put forward in the 2013 report have not been implemented. The centres are not staffed by properly trained officers, present within the accommodation areas, interacting with detained irregular migrants and taking a proactive role to resolve potential problems. Further, no activities are offered and material conditions are generally poor. In addition, the lack of any healthcare staff represents a public health risk in addition to jeopardising the health of individual detained persons. 75 As evidenced by the overly restrictive Internal Operating Regulations for immigration detention facilities of 10 March 2013 promulgated as a Decision of the Chief of Hellenic Police.
