Annual Report 2013 of the National Preventive Mechanism
Toilets in the leisure room of
the CIE of Murcia

Telephone calls from outside
66. Complaints were also received from detainees in respect of telephone calls from outside. At the CIE of Madrid it was again verified
that, at the timetable enabled for the purpose, the telephone of the
control room was off the hook, no switchboard having been installed,
as the DGP reported at the time. On the other hand, at the CIE of Murcia, no calls from outside were permitted, as they were not permitted
either at the CIE of Algeciras, alleging security problems, which was
corrected in the new Regulation.
Use of mobile phones without
cameras
67. Notwithstanding the above, as this Institution was able to verify
Leisure, reading and sports
material
68. It must be pointed out, as this Institution has done, that CIEs
should have leisure and reading material, in addition to adequate
sports material, given the free time available to detainees, who may
remain in hold for up to 60 days, and the complaints as to the lack of
activities and training that, in this respect, are received at the visits
made to these centres, such as those made by detainees at the CIE
of Murcia.
at certain centres of these features in EU countries, specifically at
the visit made to the Administrative Retention Centre (CRA) MESNIL
AMELOT of Paris, the use of mobile phones without cameras could
be permitted, which would permit detainees both to receive calls from
outside and to minimise the cost currently implied for them on buying
telephone cards. The use of mobile phones would imply a certain degree of control by the persons responsible for the centre, such as the
obligation to return them at the established rest hours or other necessary controls to safeguard the security of certain specific detainees.
