Medium-term deprivation of liberty
CARDIJN Association premises in the Tarifa CIE
28. With regard to the possibility of visits to centres by organisations set
up to defend immigrants or persons in need of international protection, methods of facilitating said access had yet to be established in the
facilities in Tarifa at the time of the visit, apart from access by the aforementioned CARDIJN Association.
NGO access
29. The legal counsel services - provided for in the aforementioned
article 15 - need to be extended to the inmates of the Algeciras CIE and its
annex in Tarifa, for the purposes of providing them with information about
the possibility of requesting international protection and so that they may
bring forward their personal cases. This observation has been accepted by
the Administration, which is going to form a collaborative agreement with
the Cádiz Bar Association.
Legal counsel
30. Psychological and psychiatric care is still not being provided in
the CIE visited. The provision of these services is advisable from the NPM’s
point of view, given the sensitive circumstances of the people detained in
these centres. However, the Administration considers it sufficient that the
inmates requiring these services be referred to the psychiatric unit of the
relevant medical centre.

31. In the Tarifa CIE there is no permanent medical and Holder of a
University Diploma in Nursing (Spanish acronym DUE) presence,
which would be necessary in order to guarantee the continuous provision
of medical and nursing care and to enable initial medical examinations to
be carried out as early as possible. The Administration considers the medical appointments themselves to be adequate and that, beyond said appointments, the inmate is transferred to the closest public health centre.

32. With regard to the facilities in Tarifa, it was concluded that they should
adopt measures which guarantee the inmates’ right to privacy during
medical appointments, such as closing the door during the appointment
and not having a member of the National Police Force present except in
cases where this is duly justified. The DGP has accepted the NPM criteria
and has issued guidelines.
