The nine cells at the station were well maintained and the holding capacity of these cells was 150 detainees. There were 45 detainees in detention at the time of the visit. The Committee noted with concern the detention of a juvenile held at the police station since October 2009 and sharing a cell with adults. A further concern was expressed about a person suffering from tuberculosis (TB) and sharing a cell with other detainees. Members stated that this individual posed a serious health risk to those with whom he was forced to share a cell. The Committee was told that suspected criminals were held in these cells for prolonged periods due to overcrowding at Correctional Services facilities. Suspects were remanded into custody by the courts to be detained at the police station.
