nationals are not always present, and their contact details, as well as those of the consulate authorities, are often not displayed; the internal regulations of the LRA are never provided to the detainees; it is impossible request for asylum. The conditions for receiving people detained in LRA do not sufficiently maintain their dignity. In general, the rooms are well maintained, but there is no access to an outdoor area for smoking or just to get some fresh air, to the extent that outings are very rare and strongly depend on the needs of the services and officers present. This situation can cause significant tension and result in the detainees being tranquilised. Access to telephones, while often granted, is not accompanied with any protection of the confidentiality of the conversations, and mobile phones are sometimes tolerated, unless they have an in-built camera. However, administrative detention should not include any restriction in this matter. The precariousness of LRA and the lack of resources have led the CGLPL to recommend to the Government that the specific situation of each LRA must be audited so that all of those that are not strictly necessary can be shut down. The CGLPL, having visited each of the CRA several times and having issued recommendations that do not fit comfortably with the facts, has requested the Government to schedule a systematic implementation of these recommendations and to ensure that they are monitored. As regards the LRA, he suggests that the situation of each facility must be audited so that all of those that are not strictly necessary can be shut down. 32
