HUMAN RIGHTS TASK GROUP VISITS NUBARASHEN PRISON
18:49 ~U 04.02.13
A task group has visited the Nubarashen prison and conducted monitoring
there.
Overcrowded cells remain the major problem reported by the group.
On arriving at the prison the group found 1,814 inmates there,
whereas the building is designed for 840 inmates.
The task group also reports that some of the cells designed for
eight people are occupied by only three inmates, while others by up
to 18 inmates.
The task group reports insanitary conditions in most of the cells.
The inmates also complained about low-quality food, and most of them
use the food brought by their relatives and friends.
The group also reports better conditions in the prison hospital,
but the prisoners complained that their relatives had to bring all
the necessary drugs to them. Moreover, patient records do not contain
information on visits by doctors invited by inmates or on the medicines
purchased by inmates' relatives.
At the private meetings the inmates complained that they are allowed
to go for a walk on special days, and no walks are organized on
Sundays. The administration explained that the problem is the lack
of personnel on Sundays.
