9 | Conditions of detention 9.1 Accommodation and shared spaces Concerns regarding the accommodation and shared areas in the Hawk and Falcon compounds are set out in the infrastructure concerns section of this report. The Commission observed that the bedrooms in these compounds were shared by up to two people and contained a bunk bed, a small fridge, a television, and storage for personal belongings. Bedrooms were equipped with ensuite bathrooms. These accommodation units were small and cramped. The Hawk and Falcon compounds had shared laundry facilities, an indoor common area which contained a kitchenette, seating and a television, and outdoor common areas which included small gardens, outside kitchenette, and landline telephones. Serco staff within these compounds carry a master key that grants access to every bedroom. This means that, whenever an individual wants to access their room, staff are required to open it. The Commission observed almost constant approaches to staff requesting them to open doors. As stated earlier in the report, people in detention consistently reported that locks are easily compromised, and they are wary of leaving valuable goods in their rooms.
