this area, always has played this role along his military career. The analysis of the above mentioned procedures didn’t show any negative aspect to consider, once that they were correctly instructed. It has recently been placed in the unit a cadet officer, graduated in Law. At the time of the visitation, there were 18 male prisoners, allocated to the prison. One of the prisoners was absent, due his hospitalization. None of them was in prison for the practice of military crime. It has told by the directorate that the prison establishment does not have its own rules of procedure, but it is expected a superior decision about a project created one year ago. For that reason, and considering the need of having the necessary operating conditions, the directorate has defined, last April, some rules and security procedures which allow the daily life of prisoners. This document was inspired on the Code of Enforcement Prison Sentences, General Regulation on Prison Establishments, as well as on the PER (Permanent Execution Rules) of that military unit. It was made a visitation to the prison area, namely to the spaces of accommodation. Good conditions of habitability were attested in all areas (preventive wing, convicted wing, graduates, female wing and the space reserved to General-Officers, these last two were never occupied). At this point, it deserves reference the low level of occupation registered (one person per cell), as well as the fact of the cells located in on the ground 0, mainly those which are geographically oriented to North (convicted wing), have low natural light. That means that those spaces were, most likely, colder, with more humidity. It is also important to mention that the prison does not have central heating system. That circumstance does not have resolution by the entry of any kind of particular equipment, but only by the delivering of more clothes (v.g., bed clothes and some other forms of isolating the cells’ doors), mainly those who occupy the above mentioned spaces, which have a low level of occupation (two persons in a space prepared to receive six). It is important to notice that the establishment doesn’t have a certified cell. It was informed that its construction is already scheduled. It was possible to verify the existence of six separation cells. Those cells do not have the legal measures or parameters (v.g., support points - suicide prevention, exposed electricity, common beds and lockers anchored in the ground and in the wall). It was equally visited the kitchen as well as the existing refectories, which were in good hygiene and wholesome conditions as it was concluded. The meal was also proved. Simultaneously it was verified, with the directorate, the work occupation conditions. Some difficulties were referred on this matter, in part dictated by the small dimension of the establishment, which means less internal offer (gardening and cleaning of the common spaces). The circumstance of prisoners maintain their military condition, receiving their salaries, make a difference in the evaluation of their situation by the Employment and Professional Institute. 26 |
