Compliance measures 319.In the Federal District, in compliance with the observations of the National Mechanism for the Prevention of Torture in its report I/2008, all devolved investigating prosecutors are taking action related to the register of admissions of suspects to the prosecution service, the circumstances of the detention and where appropriate of the name and title of the person ordering or carrying out the arrest. 320.The Federal Districtpublic prosecutors immediately order a psychological and physical examination of those handed over to them, to certify the conditions under which they are being held and to provide any emergency medical care that may be necessary,and to ensure the security of persons held in the detention facility of a Prosecution Service agency. 321.In order to safeguard the right of both the injured party and the alleged perpetrator to be examined by forensic experts, so ensuring that their statements are free of any coercion, on 6 November 2008 the Attorney-General for the Federal District issued decision A/009/2008 instructing public prosecutors to order the certification of the psychological and physical state of persons handed over to them. 322.This decision is intended to prevent human rights violations and prevent them from being subjected to acts such as torture, or incommunicado or arbitrary detention. 323.One of the main rights set out in the decision is that public prosecutors are obliged to conduct a medical examination to certify the psychological and physical condition of anyone who has been arrested or handed over to them. 324.The State of Mexico has implemented the Basic Guide to the Chain of Custody for the proper handling of evidence of crimes, which lays emphasis on activities that guarantee the authenticity of the physical and other evidence of crimes, to be observed by staff of the public prosecution service, of the State Security Agency and the municipal police when investigating and prosecuting crimes as appropriate. This legal instrument protects the legal certainty of evidence, defines the powers and responsibilities of the public servants involved and guides proceedings on the basis of criminological techniques and methods. 325.The process of detaining and protecting persons is carried out in specific agencies of the Prosecution Service, in accordance with procedures for registration, control and protection of fundamental rights. Arrests are made for cases of flagrante delicto and emergencies, following the guidelines, and are subject to court control. The allocation of places helps to control the custody of detainees, and immediate registration requires accurate information on the arrest, persons involved, transfer, grounds, circumstances, place, time, along with the data on identification and physical condition, among others. 326.In this regard, we would point out that the government of the state of Mexico provides regular training and updates for managerial, administrative, technical, security and custodial personnel, training 1,305 public servants in 2008, 1,956 in 2009, and 2,894 in 2010. Establish a uniform system for recording prisoner intake. Such records should be kept by all prisons in the State party in bound registration books with numbered pages. The record should clearly indicate: the prisoner’s identity, the reasons for their commitment and the authority therefor, and the date and time of their admission and release (para. 171) Compliance measures 327.The state of Jalisco has a state register of inmates. The system helps keep track of admissions and releases for all prisons in the state prison system and the technical information necessary to keep an electronic file, which consists of a full identification of inmates by photographs (both profile and frontal), physical description, fingerprinting, legal status, distinguishing marks, aliases, and parents’ names. 328.Another development is the unification of internal data via the Mexico platform, requiring 50 fields to be filled in for the SINP (National Prison Information System).
