185. Isolation measures must be applied in a space especially designed for the purpose, meeting the same conditions of inhabitability
as the rest of the spaces or rooms used at the centre, without prejudice to its being provided with the conditions necessary for the young
offender not to be able to injure himself or other persons. These inhabitability conditions were not observed at “Montefiz”, although this
deficiency has been remedied.
At “Sograndio”, the isolation room are known both by inmates and by
the rest of the personnel of the centre as “camarillas” and the only difference with the rest is that, at them, the doors have a small window
that permits the inside of the room to be seen. After the visit made by
this Institution, the necessary repairs were performed to prevent bad
odour from the squat toilet in the toilets of the rooms or camarillas.
Likewise, the deficiencies related to the windows of these rooms, on
the second and third floors, which, because they were permanently
open caused the temperature in the room to be inadequate were also
remedied.
