2. Visits to Detention Centre
The Complaints and Monitoring Division (CMD) improved its monitoring
by auditing detention centres to ensure that human rights standards are
complied with by the authorities. An audit visit by the CMD is a more
thorough visit than a routine one. Audit visits usually take more than two
days and require more resources too.
Audit visits also involve in-depth monitoring of all blocks, facilities
and condition of the detention centre. They also cover programmes
conducted for the detainees. During a visit, between five to 10 percent
of the population at a detention centre is randomly selected and
interviewed to gather any evidence of human rights violations there.

Maintenance Issues
There has been no maintenance of
the sewerage and wiring systems
since the place was constructed. This
needs immediate attention.
Several items in the kitchen are
in need of immediate repair or
replacement as they would affect
preparation of meals for the
detainees:
- 1 out of 2 exhaust fans was not working
- 6 stove legs were broken
- the boiler was leaking
- the icebox was not cold enough
