Disciplinary detention facilities
119. At the time of the visit, the disciplinary detention facility at the Infantry Cadet Officer
Academy in Heraklion, consisting of 3.6 m² cells, was being used for storage. The CPT wishes to
make clear that, in view of their size, the facility's cells are not suitable for overnight detention.
The cells in the disciplinary unit of the 15th Brigade of the Army in Kastoria were
somewhat larger (5.5 m²); however, they had very limited access to natural light and poor artificial
lighting. The cells were furnished with beds, had been painted recently and were in a reasonable
state of cleanliness.
In view of the delegation's findings, the CPT welcomes the fact that disciplinary sanctions
for military personnel were in practice being limited to confinement to dormitory or barracks, and
that neither of the two detention facilities visited had been used for detention purposes for some
considerable time.
