“An effect of their closure has been to shift responsibility for drunks
to the police,” added Ms Dawidziuk. “But they lack the manpower
and resources to deal with drunks, and don’t have the medical facilities
provided at the tanks.”

The main hospital in the central town of Kielce now receives between 140-160
drunks a month but in the days when the town’s drunk tank was operating it
had no more than a dozen.
