Short-term deprivation of liberty antidiabetics), since the officers refused to administer it without a medical prescription. The detainee was transferred to hospital, subsequently being returned to their cell with the medical report and the pharmacological guidelines to be followed. 10.  One of the most frequent shortcomings in these types of facilities is having an incomplete Record and Custody Book, specifically with regard to the dates of custody. In many of the facilities visited (example cases are the National Police Force Stations in Valladolid, Alcalá de Henares (Madrid), Calatayud (Zaragoza), Cuenca, Málaga and Melilla, or the Civil Guard (Spanish acronym GC) Command Headquarters in Albacete, Segovia, Soria, Xátiva (Valencia), Las Rozas-Majadahonda (Madrid), etc.) not all the events which take place with regard to detainees are noted in the custody pages of the Book (such as frisks carried out, visits with the lawyer, food offered, etc.). The purpose of the custody record is to know at any time who is guarding the detainee, everything that the detainee has done and the procedures which have been followed throughout the process of deprivation of liberty. It is therefore essential that the Book is duly completed. The Suggestions put together for better completing the Register and Custody Books have been accepted and, as such, ISES 12/2015 insists on this matter by making reference to Instruction 12/2009 of the Secretary of State for Security, which regulates the Detainee Record and Custody Book. Incomplete Record Book §85-86 AR 2014 Incomplete custody sheets (not all meals have been noted, for example) 11.  In general terms, with regard to the facilities visited, up to the end of 2015 an appropriate application of the provisions and legal safeguards brought together in article 520 of the current Criminal Procedure Act was observed, with detainees almost always being informed, in writing, of their rights. However, the NPM has continued to recommend that detainees be specifically informed in writing of their right to request a writ of habeas corpus. Although in some facilities, such as the CNP Station in Calatayud (Zaragoza) or the Police Headquarters for Western Andalusia (Seville), this information is provided in writing, in many of the facilities visited the reading material about the detainee’s rights does not include the information written about this matter, and in some instances is not provided verbally Information about habeas corpus §476 AR 2010 §78 AR 2014 33
