the Director of the Department of the Ministry of Citizen Protection Patras Detention Facilityop de vragen van de rechtbank als volgt geantwoord:
1. For each detainee, in cases of overcrowding and with the maximum number of persons in each area, the minimum individual space may be at the limit of 3 m² and not below that.
2. In previous correspondence, we have provided detailed information regarding the accommodation areas, the number of detainees in each area, and when we refer to the maximum number, this refers to short periods, the duration of which we are unable to specify due to the continuous overcrowding of the Facility.
3. We have sent correspondence containing detailed information regarding the overall detention conditions.
4. The law does not specify a particular deadline. In practice, procedures are often slow and depend on many factors. We are not responsible for approving or rejecting the request for transfer to another branch.
5. There is no legally defined maximum time from when the transfer approval is received by the Facility. The duration varies, especially if there are delays or lack of space elsewhere.
6. There are no restrictions on access to yards and activities due to overcrowding. Article 8 of the "Internal Regulation for the Operation of Detention Facilities" (Article 16, Decision 58819-2007 / Government Gazette 463/A/17-04-2003) organizes the detainees’ daily schedule as follows:
2. Detainees are allowed to remain in the wings with gates closed during the winter until 20:30 and during the summer until 21:00. After these hours, detainees are locked in their cells or wards until the following morning.
3. Adherence to the timetable is mandatory.
4. Exceptionally, detainees may remain outside their cells and wards in the wings with gates closed:
5. On holidays and special days, the above schedule does not include education and participation in programs.
6. Upon decision by the Prison Council, the daily schedule in paragraph 1 may be adjusted for detainees who participate in education or work, either inside or outside the detention facility.
