information on deaths of persons deprived of their liberty, with a view to adopting
public health policies.
67. In that regard, the National Prison Institute has implemented a system that
operates at the local level and transmits the prisoner ’s recorded information to the
central server, known as SIP-POPE, via the Internet. The Prison Registration System
is used to register prisoners who enter the prisons of Lima and Callao. Both systems
contain information fields that enable the standardization of identification
information and the registration of judicial decisions, reports and documents
(certificate of criminal record, certificate of release, record of detention,
identification sheet), thereby establishing those systems as the only official systems
for the collection of information, in replacement of Excel and other systems that
were previously used. 53
68. It should be noted that Legislative Decree No. 1325 provided that data
identifying the entire prison population would be registered in the National Registry
of Identification and Civil Status within 12 months. Once the identification process
has been completed, the National Prison Institute will liaise with the National
Registry of Identification and Civil Status to coordinate the delivery of national
identity documents of prisoners to the prison authorities, so that prisoners can
access health, education, employment and other services. 54
69. Furthermore, Legislative Decree No. 1328 provides that the National Prison
Institute will implement the National Prison Register containing individual digital
files for the national prison population. 55
70. Presidential Decision No. 296-2012-INPE/P established the Multidisciplinary
Commission for the Diagnosis, Evaluation and Monitoring of the Death of Prisoners
in Prisons, which is a national body responsible for collecting and processing
information on deceased prisoners, in order to support the Office of the President of
the National Prison Institute in making decisions in relation to the death of
prisoners. 56
3.2.4
Ill-treatment and reprisals
71. Paragraph 66 of the Subcommittee’s report recommends that Peru take
measures including training and refresher courses on human rig hts, to prevent
ill-treatment of prisoners by prison staff.
72. In that regard, it should be noted that the following strategic actions related to
training and awareness-raising on human rights have been established under the
National Plan for Education on Fundamental Rights and Duties to 2021: “include in
the training provided to civil servants the subject of human rights, as required for
the fulfilment of their duties”. 57
73. In addition, one of the bodies of the National Prison Institute is the National
Centre for Criminology and Prison Studies, which selects, trains and improves the
skills of prison staff, as well as conducting studies and research in correctional
science and criminology. 58
