ANALYSIS: Right to Humane Treatment 19 Upon inspection, it was revealed that some police lock-up cells do not have proper ventilation or windows. 66 If there were, they were too small 67 for the entry of natural light and fresh air. Lock-up cells in two (2) MPD police stations are in a suffocating condition being located in the basement. 68 There are lock-up cells with no light 69 -- whether natural 70 or artificial light. 71 Ideally, sanitary installations shall be adequate to enable every PDL to comply with the needs of nature when necessary and in a clean and decent manner. 72 Adequate bathing and shower installations shall be provided so that every PDL may be able to take a bath or shower, as frequently as necessary for general hygiene. 73 All parts of an institution regularly used by PDL shall be properly maintained and kept clean at all times. 74 However, the study reveals that sanitary installations in several NCR police lock-up cells are below the minimum standard. Either they do not exist or are poorly maintained. For example, some PS lock-up cells do not have toilets or are otherwise in poor condition. 75 In MPD-Malate PS-9, a hole directly connected to the sewage serves as the detainees’ toilet; while in MPD-Sta. Mesa PS-8 and EPD-Marikina PS the toilets are clogged. In SPD-Taguig PS, minors share the toilet facility with female adults. Male and female detainees have a common toilet in EPD-San Juan PS-4. Almost all toilets have no sink, or in-cell lavatories. Some toilet bowls overflow and some are clogged 76 that secrete an odious stench. The research further reveals that toilets and bathrooms do not afford privacy since it merely covers half of the person’s body revealing the detainee’s torso when taking a bath or complying with the needs of nature. In most lock-up cells, female detainees have to sit down or put a curtain in order for them not to be exposed while taking a bath. According to jailers, these toilets and bathrooms are specifically designed in order to avoid torture or ill-treatment among the detainees inside the toilet. 65 Standard No. 11(b), Standard Minimum Rules.
