After visiting the Sevan Correctional Facility the Ministry of Justice's Public Monitoring Group reported a number of unsanitary conditions at the facility.In their report, the monitors state that there is just one communal bathroom fort the inmates and that due to the lack of a heating system the waste disposal pipes freeze up in the winter. The facility's mess hall was also found to be in poor shape, lacking a ventilation and heating system. The report goes on to say that inmates are packed into large rooms and that the numbers are in violation of corresponding RoA law. Central heating is practically non-existent and inmates rely on the electric heaters brought by relatives, but that do to the large areas involved these prove to be inadequate, especially given the climatic location of the prison. The monitors also pointed out that even rooms in the hospital ward aren't heated properly since the floors are bare concrete and that the ward itself lacks necessary medical equipment.
