asured around 56 sq. m and was equipped with forty-two bunk beds; the number of inmates kept there together with the applicant varied from twenty-five to sixty-six. Cell No. 51 measured 28 sq. m and had twenty-four bunk beds; it housed eight to twenty persons. Cell No. 8 measured 3 sq. m and was equipped with three bunk beds; one to three inmates were kept there.
46. The applicant was not provided with individual bedding. On several occasions he was not allocated an individual sleeping place and the inmates had to take it in turns to sleep.
47. In virtually every cell bunk beds were attached to the walls in three rows. In each cell there was a lavatory pan placed next to the dining table and bunk beds; lavatory pans were not cleaned properly and gave off an unpleasant odour.
48. The cells were not equipped with a ventilation system. As a result, in summer it was very hot and humid inside, while in winter it was very cold. The cells were poorly lit. However, a light was switched on day and night. There were cockroaches, bugs, mice and rats in the cells.
49. The inmates were not provided with toilet paper, toothpaste or cleaning products for sinks and lavatory pans. The applicant was only allowed to have a shower once a week.
50. There were no taps with running hot water in the cells. The remand prison administration provided the inmates with one bucket of hot water per cell twice a day. The inmates were not provided with drinking water and were obliged to drink tap water. The quality of food served in the remand prison was poor.
51. The inmates were escorted for a walk in a special area covered with an iron roof. The walks only lasted about half an hour, although they should have been at least one-hour long.
52. The applicant's counsel pointed out in his applications for release lodged with district and regional courts that the applicant was being kept in poor conditions. His assertions remained unanswered.
