Registers of events from the everyday life of the detention facility: ■ use of force or firearms; ■ registers concerning the regime: meals, work, exercise, educational activities, etc.; ■ register of incidents. These last three registers can be particularly important when reconstructing the circumstances of, and responsibility for abusive behaviour toward detainees. However, the authorities often refuse to let visitors consult precisely these registers. Visitors should also ask to consult other documents which are important for a better understanding of the functioning of the place: ■ internal rules, ■ staff list, ■ working schedule of the staff. 15 Due to the rule of medical confidentiality, checking personal medical files can only be done by a member of the visiting team who is a qualified medical practitioner.
