Protective measures On September 23rd, during the afternoon period, a visit was conducted to the Investigation Department of the Judiciary Police of Leiria. No detainee was present. The detention area, located in the ground floor, comprises a vestibule and three individual cells. A video surveillance system is installed in the vestibule. According to the information provided, the entire building is cleaned daily, including the detention cells. Standard regulations on lighting and ventilation are complied with. Although the cells showed to be clean, some walls have words and drawings carved on the paint. Additional blankets are provided to the detainees if so requested. The cells have a calling device. According to information given, since January 2015, around 75 detainees have been held in the facilities. Detainees are usually caught in the act of committing a criminal offense or detained in compliance with a court or a prosecutor order. It was reported that the detention time is, on average, of 12 to 18 hours. An exceptional case where the detention time exceeded 48 hours was flagged: it occurred around two or three years ago due to an unusually long detainee’s hearing and was duly justified by a court order. In the rare event that a detainee has someone under his/her responsibility (v.g., minor, senior or person with disabilities), a family member or a friend normally offers support. When it does not happen, the social services are contacted through the 144 hotline (Linha Nacional de Emergência Social) and provide an adequate answer. • Visit no. 24-2015 Date: 2015.10.28 Location: Centro Educativo de Santo António [Educational Centre of Santo António] (Oporto) Subject: Operating conditions.
