Long-term deprivation of liberty 120.  In most of the prisons inspected in 2011, the CCTV surveillance system did not meet the criterion set out in Paragraphs 334 and 477 of the Annual Report 2010, which advised extending these technical resources to all establishments in which there may be people deprived of liberty, except for cells and sanitary facilities. In Albolote (Granada), for example, there are serious deficiencies and considerable deterioration in the system, due to its age and the fact that it has not been upgraded. In Alcala de Guadaíra (Seville), the existing CCTV surveillance system is obsolete and is not used. At Barcelona prison CCTV systems are only in place in the open section, where footage is not recorded, and in the solitary confinement cells. At Castellón de la Plana, the system only covers the common areas in the modules; it is very old, and the images are blurred and in black and white; At Figueres (Girona), some cameras have blind angles, and only some of them record footage. At Fontcalent psychiatric prison hospital (Alicante) there is no CCTV surveillance in some common areas. It is also lacking from some of the cells in the acute care department and nearly all the infirmary department. At Melilla the system only covers the yards and inter-modular corridors; At Tenerife II prison there is no video-surveillance system whatsoever. The SGIP reports that a study was made of the cost of meeting the recommendations of the Ombudsman’s office and that for the time being it is not possible to go ahead with the improvements, due to budgetary shortages, within the priorities established by prison authorities. However, in the specific case of Albolote (Granada), it reports that it is currently examining the characteristics of the system, the needs for modernisation and recording and storage protocol. The Office of the Catalan Justice Department has told us that in view of the imminent opening of the new Puig de les Basses prison in Figueres (Girona), it is not considered necessary to make any investments in this section, given that the new facility will meet all criteria on CCTV surveillance. Nonetheless, the necessary measures have been taken to regulate the recording and storage of images showing any incident with an inmate. The SGIP reports that it has costed implementation of the recommendations of the Ombudsman’s Office but budgetary restrictions prevent them from being implemented in their entirety CCTV surveillance system at Alcala de Guadaíra Photo 49 prison (Seville) THE OMBUDSMAN OF SPAIN   143
