CAT/OP/CHL/1/Add.1 168. Paragraph 122: The Subcommittee also recommends that health-care protocols and facilities be adapted to ensure that detainees who wish to use ancestral knowledge and medicine as an alternative or in addition to regular treatment may do so. 169. The health of Mapuche detainees is a topic that is addressed by the agreement between the Prison Service and the Catholic University of Temuco. In this regard, the two institutions should agree on specific cooperation activities in the area of health, favouring the integration of Mapuche intercultural health or complementary health care into the planning of activities to be carried out at Prison Service facilities in the Araucanía Region. 170. In this context, the Catholic University of Temuco delivers kits or cases containing Mapuche medicinal inputs.59 It is committed to replenishing these medicinal inputs and to providing training for the health personnel of the establishments participating in the agreement.60 171. SENAME and the Ministry of Health will establish a working group to develop a protocol for the inclusion of ancestral medicine among the interventions of the health units of directly administered centres. Moreover, the plan is for officials in the region to receive training on General Administrative Regulation No. 16 on Intercultural Health Services, Exempt Resolution No. 261 of 2006. Both actions are due to be implemented after the second half of 2017. 3.4.4 Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) persons 172. The Subcommittee expressed concern about persons deprived of their liberty who are discriminated against because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. For that reason, the authorities in the justice sector have pursued efforts to respond to the Subcommittee’s recommendations and thus ensure decent treatment for LGBTI detainees. 173. Paragraph 126: The Subcommittee reiterates that solitary confinement, isolation and administrative segregation are not appropriate methods of maintaining security and can be justified only if used as a last resort, under exceptional circumstances, for the shortest possible time and in combination with adequate procedural safeguards. 174. Work is under way to draft new prison regulations, as requested by the President of the Republic. In this regard, one point stressed has been that of ensuring that the disciplinary regime does not exceed the limits set by international human rights standards. 175. In October 2016, the Prison Service carried out a survey to ascertain how many LGBTI persons were being held in isolation. Six cases were found in the following regions: • Arica and Parinacota Region: 1 person • Metropolitan Region: 2 persons • Maule Region: 2 persons • Araucanía Region: 1 person 176. The justification for such measures, as given by LGBTI persons and prison administrators, were, on the one hand, the desire to avoid transferring detainees away from the institutions in which they were established, and on the other hand, the lack of suitable facilities for LGBTI persons at the regional level. 177. The Prison Service adopted two specific measures to put an end to this situation. Firstly, it ordered that individuals held in isolation should be immediately relocated, and secondly, that their living conditions should be improved. The first measure has already been carried out, and the second is due to be implemented by July 2017. 59 60 30 The kits contain drops or creams based on Mapuche medicinal plants, which are used for common ailments such as heartburn, irritable bowel, headaches and sore throats. The following correctional facilities are located in the Araucanía Region: Lautaro, Nueva Imperial, Temuco, Victoria and Collipulli prisons; Angol, Curacautín, Pitrufquén, Traiguén and Villarrica pretrial detention centres and Temuco Women’s Prison.
