that, at one point, she shared a single container and bathroom with 10 other people; 6 of them, including 2 children, were placed in a single room with just 4 beds. Others noted that rooms inside the containers were small. Saeed estimated that the bedroom he shared with one other person measured about 1 by 1.5 metres. As previously highlighted, some mentioned that the small spaces in detention posed health risks. Emmanuel told us that there was little possibility for social distancing given the small rooms, and Rashid expressed concerns that COVID-19 could spread quickly through the centre due to the lack of space. In summary, participants’ testimonies indicated overcrowding in the PRDC, which they were aware could carry negative consequences for their health and hygiene. 7. Access to Privacy Several participants revealed that they had limited privacy in the PRDC. According to Joud, “a lot of containers don’t have doors”, while Ismail told us that only some of the bedrooms inside the containers had doors. Louis told us that, as there was no door to his container when he arrived, he and his fellow detainees hung curtains in its place. Joud and Ismail both noted that the doors to their containers did not have locks, while Jeanne and Faiza told us that neither her room, nor her container, had a lock. However, some participants conceded that having locks made, or would make, little difference to their access to privacy. Florence told us that while her room had a door with a lock on it, she did not lock her door, as the police entered the container to conduct checks every day. As an SGBV survivor, she found her interactions with the police – almost all of whom are men – especially traumatising. She reported: “…we don’t have women police. They are only men who come in. The door there doesn’t have key, every door is unlocked. Even when you are coming to the toilet, the police push the door without knocking”. Ismail also told us “…we didn’t have a lock. But even if we had it, we can’t really lock it because the police came every six hours to see if you’re inside – even if you’re in the toilet or sleeping, they have to check if you’re still here or not”. Similarly, Joud reported: “We didn’t have any lock, we’re not allowed to close the doors as well because police come and check on us at 3 am and 10 pm…When they come to check they just open the door and turn on the lights on us which is something that annoyed us a lot and they shout sometimes, it was an annoying thing to do every day”. Detained persons’ access to privacy was therefore limited due to both the physical conditions within the PRDC, and their enforced interactions with police. 8. Poor hygiene facilities and materials Many participants reported conditions of poor hygiene in the PRDC. Every participant interviewed on the subject reported that the toilets and showers were in very poor condition, were never cleaned, and that detained persons were not provided products to clean them and were expected to independently purchase these if they wished to clean the facilities. Florence told us that the toilet and shower in her container were in bad condition. When she asked authorities for a brush to clean them, she was told they did not have one and that she would have to buy one herself. Fares also told us that in both sections in which he stayed: “It was smelling really bad…the flush for the water wasn’t working. When you finish…with the bathroom, the thing doesn’t flush regularly…The shower was also broken, so we weren’t really able to have a shower because it was broken and it was smelling really bad…”. Louis also explained that the bathrooms were: “disgusting. They would sometimes get filled up and were not properly maintained. [They had] a yellow colour all the time”. He further explained: “There were odours coming from the toilets and sometimes there would be water running from the toilets into the areas where we slept…”. 51 DETENTION OF MIGRANTS ON THE ISLAND OF KOS
