§245 and 246 AR 2014
69. The information provided to minors upon their entry to the facilities
must be improved (Marcelo Nessi and Sograndio CMI), including the possibility of filing for habeas corpus (Bahía de Cádiz, Es Pinaret and Marcelo Ness CMI). In contrast, the information provided in both respects in the
Valvanera CMI should be highlighted. In the majority of cases, the conclusions brought forward have been accepted and the necessary measures
implemented.

§247 AR 2014
70. Court-appointed lawyers still do not visit minors during the length
of their detainment, which should be rectified (Bahía de Cádiz, Es Pinaret,
