17. Although in the majority of facilities visited it was observed that the
existing materials and items in the cells cannot, in principle, be used by
detainees to self-harm or attempt suicide, in some facilities visited, such
as the CNP Station in Calatayud and the GC Command Headquarters in
Majadahonda-Las Rozas, the design and materials of the cells or doors
continue to pose a risk to the physical integrity of the detainees.
Doors in the Police Station in Calatayud (Zaragoza), with iron bars

18. In the visit made to the jail cells of the Courthouse in Melilla, it was
observed that the officers wore their service weapon with the magazine
fitted when in the cell area. Although in the majority of facilities visited it
was observed that the officers do not carry their service weapon within this
area or do so without the magazine, this point must continue to be insisted
upon in order to strengthen the security of the detainees and that of the
officers themselves. In this regard, we reiterate the recommendation made
in previous reports that all facilities be fitted with gun racks, as is the case
in the Municipal Police facilities in Lleida, for example.
