According to the complaint received on behalf of 46 inmates of the IVS, guardians on the daily basis beat prisoners twice a day when convicts are released from their cells to go to toilet. Daily nutrition consists of 3 pieces of bread and cold water, and rarely soup without much substance. According to the complainants, more than a half of inmates are ill. Penitentiary does not provide inmates with medicines. Convicts are allowed a two minute meeting with their relatives every week.
Guardians often confiscate food, medicines, and cigarettes brought by relatives.
When inmates express their protest, they get beaten. According to T. Vinnikova, executive secretary at the State Commission of Affairs of Underage under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic, these special facilities for juvenile offenders are in bad shape today. The diet does not include meat, milk, vegetables, and omits sugar. In correctional facilities children are bootless, poorly clothed. Soap is rare in facilities for juveniles.
