was said, although, that this is ensured that is cleaned after each use. The rights and duties
information panel of the arrested persons is affixed in only one wall, by the end of the corridor which gives access to the individual detention spaces and it is not an easy access for
the arrested person who occupies the bedroom located in the beginning of the corridor.
The bedroom calling and communication system were not properly working.
Regarding the complaint procedures, it was mentioned by the professionals who were
heard that the complaints’ book is with the graduated, near the public desk, which is
inside the airport installations and, if requested, it is given immediately.
The context observed in the Police Station of Faro – Airport Division deserved a positive comment, namely because of the cleanness and the good space conservation conditions. It deserves, however, a negative remark the lack of cleanness of the bed blankets and
the inoperability of the cells’ calling and communication system.

Subject: Detention conditions. Registration procedures of detainees. Dialogue with

On November 23rd, at night, it was carried out a visit to the Police Station of Faro.
Three individual cells and one collective cell were identified. In case of overcrowding,
the Chief Officer reports to the Tavira Police Station, or, alternatively, to the Faro Prison
or to the detention space existing at the airport.
The cells have natural and artificial lighting, and the latter is properly protected by
wire netting. The floor is in cement and light coloured walls. The supplies are appropriate.
There is a device for emitting a signal sound to call the military vigilant agent in case of
needing for assistance. The cells windows are protected with bars and have wire netting in
the outside. The cleaning of the cells is done in a daily regime.
The detainee that arrives receives bed linen that is collected at the end of detention.
The declaration of rights and duties of the detainees is arguably visible from the chamber zone. The text is translated into Spanish, English and French. In addition to recognizing the reduced size of the characters, it was concluded that the wording of the text
law was not updated (regarding Law No. 20/2013, of February 21st, redaction, in particular concerning subparagraph (b) of paragraph 3 of article 61 of the Criminal Procedure
Code).
