Moreras (Murcia), Marcelo Nessi (Badajoz), Sograndio (Asturias), Teresa

CMI was attended by members of the Advisory Council, and the visit to the
Teresa de Calcuta CMI was conducted as part of a study visit by the Philippine Commission on Human Rights, and was the only visit which was not
unannounced due to the involvement of a foreign delegation.

66. During visits to the facilities in Andalusia (Bahía de Cádiz CMI), the
Balearic Islands (Es Pinaret CMI) and La Rioja (Virgen de Valvanera CMI),
it was verified in said autonomous communities that the existing CMI capacity is insufficient, meaning that some minors have to be detained in
facilities far from their family’s place of residence. Overcrowding was observed in the Es Pinaret CMI, with 63 minors held there on the day of the
Insufficient capacity
