Chapter 2 - Report of the Complaints, Monitoring and Inquiries Group It was observed that the conditions generally meet the minimum standards. However, some detention centres built during the colonial era are not conducive for the habitation of detainees. For example, at Taiping Prison, there are no toilet facilities in some cells and detainees are forced to use buckets instead. Death row detainees at both the Taiping and Alor Setar Prisons complained that they were not given sufficient time for recreational activities. They also asked if arrangements could be made for withdrawal of their contributions to the Employees Provident Fund, to ease the financial burden of family-members.
