- 32 - 65. Khania Prison was also brought into service in 1935; it is located near Khania town centre. The prison has an official capacity of 65 and at the time of the visit was holding 87 inmates (58 remand and 29 sentenced prisoners). 66. Prisoner accommodation consisted mainly of dormitories measuring some 48 m², and of 7.3 m² cells; living areas were reasonably clean, had good ventilation, including air conditioning, and enjoyed access to natural light. However, artificial lighting was poor, and the general state of repair of dormitories and cells left something to be desired. Further, accommodation areas and corridors in the living units were crammed with beds (e.g. 28 bunk beds in one of the dormitories), some of them unused, leaving little room for other items of furniture. On the other hand, most parts of the prison had modern and spacious sanitary facilities, and work was nearing completion in the remaining sections. Dormitories were being used to accommodate more than 20 inmates each, and two or even three prisoners were being held to a cell. In the CPT's view, 48 m² dormitories should not be used to accommodate more than 12 inmates. As for the 7.3 m² cells, they are adequate for one person, but provide very cramped accommodation for two; they should never be used to hold three inmates. 67. The general characteristics of Korydallos Prison Complex have been described in previous visit reports (cf. CPT/Inf (94) 20, paragraph 91 and, for the situation more recently, CPT/Inf (2001) 20, Part II, paragraph 52). The delegation was informed that the official capacity of the Prison for Men had increased, to 780 (730 in 1999), as had its inmate population, to 2,107 (1,922 in 1999), made up of 705 remand and 1,402 sentenced prisoners. 68. It should be recalled that most of the accommodation available in the prison consists of 9.5 m² cells; there are also some cells measuring about 8.5 m² and dormitories of up to 100 m². All of the facilities have good access to natural light and ventilation, and adequate artificial lighting. 69. Efforts to improve material conditions of detention at Korydallos have continued. In-cell lavatories throughout the prison had been provided with some partitioning, although some screens had been removed/damaged by prisoners during protests several months earlier. Further, the two sections which had not yet been renovated by the time of the CPT’s previous visit (wings A and D), have now been refurbished, in line with the recommendations previously made by the Committee (cf. CPT/Inf (2001) 18, Part II, paragraph 53). Moreover, as already indicated, the establishment's level of hygiene had improved considerably. However, signs of wear were already visible in the establishment, including in the areas renovated more recently, and wing D was suffering from sewage leakage problems. Given the relatively high turnover of prisoners, inmate accommodation at Korydallos would clearly benefit from more frequent repair work.
