6. Observations 6.1 Pollsmoor Correctional Centre 6.1.1 The Admission Centre, housing male remand detainees was grossly overcrowded with one of the cells visited sleeping 80 despite having been designed to accommodate 35. The Centre can accommodate 1 619 detainees, but on 3 August 2009 housed 4 200. The conditions are unhygienic and unhealthy with detainees spending most of their day in the cells, sharing not only the single shower and toilet per cell, but many also sharing beds.
