The penitentiary system of Catalonia has a healthcare network created under the
agreement reached in 2001 between the Departments of Justice and Health of the
Government of Catalonia and the Mental Health Services of the Order of the Brothers
Hospitallers of St. John of God. The network consists of the following specialised
resources: Polyvalent Psychiatric Unit of CP Quatre Camins, Penitentiary Psychiatric
Hospitalisation Unit of CP Brians-1 (UHPP-C) and Penitentiary Psychiatric
Rehabilitation Unit of CP Brians-2 (URPP). Apart from these specialised resources, the
infirmaries of CP Brians-1, the CP for men of Barcelona and the CP for women of
Barcelona have a specific psychiatric area attended also by personnel of the Brothers
Hospitallers of St. John of God.
