rule, which reduces the use of the telephone to a time limit of five minutes per day and per inmate. In conclusion, the assessed conditions were deemed adequate. Medication management procedures justify an amelioration recommendation, to include the registration of every refusal, ideally having the patient signing off on the refusal or, alternatively, two eyewitnesses. • Visit no. 30-2015 Date: 2015.11.23 Location: Tribunal Judicial da Comarca de Beja [Beja Judicial Court] (Beja) Subject: Detention conditions. Food quality In the afternoon of November 23rd, a visit was made to the Judicial Court of Beja. The judicial court has two detention cells. From those, only one was functioning. The other one is used as a warehouse, because it is not necessary its use, considering the scheduling of judgements. The detention cell in use is large, planted as a square, and does not have the minimum conditions, as legally required (v.g., light accessible from inside, without sanitary facilities and bed). In fact, in that space there is only a wooden bench. The cell is separated from the corridor by a grilles door and wall. At the time of the visit it was possible to find, in the corridor, some boxes and furniture (closets and chairs). In one of the walls they were pinned several paper sheets with the rights and the duties of the detainees, easily accessible to whom may be occupying the cell. That information was written in Portuguese, English, French and Spanish. The detention space presents good hygienic conditions. As told, it is daily cleaned. The cell does not have a call system. That fault is filled by the continuous presence of some elements of prison guard, who are monitoring the prisoner. As told, the prison services assure the surveillance of the detainees and the police ensure the security of the court’s facilities. This situation is not supervised by any person of the judicial court. The bathroom is located in the corridor, without any of the security conditions legally required. The equipment is made of chinaware and it is placed near to a window which allows access to the street (although equipped with bars). It was verified the existence of fire-fighting equipment in the corridor, near the cells (v.g., detector on the celling and fire extinguisher on the wall). It was not found any surveillance equipment (audio and video). | 49
