The kitchen and the existing refectories were also visited and a meal was proved. Concerning this last item, there is nothing to declare. The directorate had said that it was planned a remodelling of the kitchen area and the acquisition of some new equipment. Revealed by the directorate was, in abstract, some concern about the diet of the prisoners, namely the quantity of products per capita which should be given in each meal. This problem has an effect on the diversity and on the quality of the weekly menus presented by the firm responsible for this area. It was equally verified the types of therapy programs for prisoners with addictions. The directorate pointed out the excellent relationship established with the Intervention on Addicted Behaviours and Dependencies (SICAD), located in Guarda city (in the prison establishment it’s given psychological support, 3 times each week; in the SICAD it’s given medical support, with the same frequency). This program involves 30 prisoners with psychologist support, 14 with medical care and other 14 with substitution treatments. Among the existing programmes, deserves to be pointed out the assistance given on the treatment of alcoholism, reaching to 21 prisoners. This programme results from a partnership established with the Guarda Recovered Alcoholics Association, formally supported by the intervention of the Coimbra Alcoholigy Centre. A reserved conversation was held with the citizens in reclusion, which allow identifying problems respecting alimentation, as well as the baths slots (it was alleged the existence of only one hour of hot water per day) and the number of showers existing on each floor (in one detention zone, for instance, there are only three shower facilities to 50 prisoners). To sum up, in this prison establishment deserves attention the thermal insulation conditions and the degradation of some spaces caused by the humidity. It must be also monitored the issues related with the monitoring of the company responsible for the food, especially the quantity of products per capita which should be given in each meal. At last, it was mentioned that the directorate must revaluate the baths slots (frequency and duration), considering the number of showers existing on each floor. • Visit no. 13-2015 Date: 2015.09.22 Location: Centro Educativo do Mondego [Educational Center of Mondego] (Guarda) Subject: Operating conditions.
