Dear Correctional Services Department,
Thank you for your response. May I clarify,
1) What are the "recreational activities" that are facilitated?
2) Could you describe more regarding the "institutional routine" related to the access and duration of use of the dayrooms?
3) Could you explain what is the definition of "workshop" in this context?
4) Further, how many detainees are usually part of the same workshop?
Thank you for your help.
Yours sincerely,
Raquel Amador
Dear Sir/ Madam,
Your email of 13.12.2021 refers.
Recreational activities include but not limited to watching of television,
while workshop (sic) per se means the groups assigned to detainees in the
context of TGCI. Each group of detainees would be assigned to take part
in recreational activities in accordance with the institutional routine,
whereby the number of detainees in each group by and large hinges on the
total population of detainees at TGCI.
