I.2.1.  Foreign National Detention Centres 23.  During 2015 there were 2 follow-up visits made to the Foreign National Detention Centre (Spanish acronym CIE) in Algeciras (Cádiz) and 2 follow-up visits were also made to the annex facility in Tarifa (Cádiz), of which one visit was multidisciplinary. This multidisciplinary visit to the facilities in Tarifa concludes this type of visit with regard to all CIE. 4 CIE follow-up visits 24.  The facilities in Tarifa were established as an annex to the CIE in Algeciras in order to relieve pressure on its capacity. However, in practice they function completely independently, especially given that the Algeciras CIE is currently in partial operation, whilst the facilities in Tarifa are more fully occupied and have better conditions. As a result, the DGP has been notified that the legal authorisation to run a facility with these characteristics should be granted, which has been rejected. Tarifa as annex to Algeciras CIE 25.  Confidential interviews were conducted with various inmates during the visits. The visit to the Algeciras CIE focussed on the review of information on the international protection provided to the inmates, and on checking if the inmates were aware of this information. The Tarifa visit investigated the conduct of the custody officers, incidents within the CIE, personal searches, healthcare, external contact, material conditions, food, leisure and other matters. In general, the inmates - who in this case were in the peculiar situation of having arrived at the facility just after entering the country - expressed satisfaction with the treatment received and the conditions in the centre, except with regard to the cold and, in some cases, the food. One of them had submitted a complaint about the disappearance of the money they were carrying on their arrival. The director of the centre confirmed that this matter was under investigation. Interviews 26.  With regard to improvements made since previous visits and since the approval of the Regulation on the operation and internal governance of CIE, in Tarifa it was verified that the inmates are informed in writing of the possibility of requesting a writ of habeas corpus, that pamphlets and information about international protection is provided in various languages, that methods have been adopted for the security of the inmates (fire-fighting equipment, audio call systems), that benches have been installed in the Improvements since previous visits 45
