CAT/OP/BOL/3/Add.1 supplies of different kinds (including blankets, sheets, mattresses, toothbrushes, toothpaste, bunks and kitchen supplies), in accordance with the requirements of international human rights jurisprudence and the recommendations of the Subcommittee (annex 17-C). 51. In order to improve the condition of infrastructure and recreational areas, including occupational therapy areas, for persons deprived of their liberty, plans are being drawn up, in coordination with the Ministry of the Interior, for the establishment of the Chonchocoro prison complex, for a cost of Bs 1,920,955.00, the new Palmasola prison complex, for a cost of Bs 2,317,834.00, and the Arani model prison complex, for a cost of Bs 1,700,000.00 (annex 17-D). 52. In this regard, the State protects and respects the rights of persons deprived of their liberty and respects the established legal order. 53. In addition, in line with the 2016-2020 Prison Reform Strategy, the Ministry of the Interior has issued legal report DGAJ-UAJ No. 413/2017, which concludes that “…in view of the fact that tackling social problems in prisons is a priority, the regulations of each prison must be adapted to its current circumstances, so that the request to apply specific internal regulations to each prison is admissible and does not breach domestic law” (annex 18). 54. The staff member of the Directorate-General of Prisons in charge of prisoners’ daily food allowance, Franz Pozo Vásquez, stated that: “…at present, the dynamics have changed in the light of Supreme Decree No. 1854, and starting in 2016 local governments have made the payment directly without transferring funds to the Ministry of the Interior to pay for daily food allowances, which is why it is necessary to amend the procedures set out in Ministerial Resolution No. 4237. Therefore, it is recommended that the proposed handbook of procedures for requests for daily food allowances should be submitted to the corresponding unit of this government body to be reviewed, analyzed and subsequently approved by ministerial decision” (annex 19). 55. The amount allocated for daily food allowances provides inmates with decent, necessary nutrition. 56. With regard to the recommendation made by the Subcommittee in paragraph 42 (a), the Directorate-General of Prisons issued Instruction MG-DGRP No. 014-A of 16 June 2017 directed at the departmental directors of the prison system and the prison directors of the country, drawing their attention to the fact that the appointment of representatives responsible for discipline in prisons is prohibited, because only prison directors have the authority to impose disciplinary sanctions, in accordance with article 122 of Act No. 2298 (annex 20). 57. Instruction MG-DGRP No. 014/2017 of 5 June 2017 was issued with the aim of informing the departmental directors of prisons and prison directors around the country that only prison directors have the authority to impose disciplinary sanctions, in accordance with articles 122 and 123 of Act No. 2298, and that solitary confinement as a disciplinary sanction may become effective only when the decision to impose it has become executory (that is, under the supervision of the enforcement judge), in accordance with the provisions of article 125 of Act No. 2298. 58. Nevertheless, regulations will also be drawn up and brought into effect governing the disciplinary regime in prisons, alongside a modified handbook of duties regulating the duties and obligations of prison staff and establishing a system of sanctions for noncompliance. Training in the implementation of these documents will be provided as soon as they are issued. VI.
