CAT/OP/BOL/3/Add.1 liberty will be accessible through the computerized system of the Supreme Court of Justice. Furthermore, the Integrated Criminal Investigation System (SIIC), which stores all the information on the identification details and particulars of persons deprived of their liberty, is in its final stage of development. IX. Observations made in paragraph 62 77. Where the recommendations contained in paragraph 64 are concerned, the data held by the Bolivian prison record-keeping system can provide alerts or reports regarding prisoners who have been held in pretrial detention for longer than the maximum legal time period (see annex 29-B). 78. It should be borne in mind that all information concerning the criminal proceedings of prisoners will be accessible, with the Supreme Court of Justice responsible for finetuning and setting up the necessary alerts. 79. In response to the institutional need to identify prisoners reliably, Supreme Decree No. 2359 was promulgated on 13 May 2015 with the aim of issuing birth certificates and identity cards free of charge to all persons deprived of their liberty in the Plurinational State of Bolivia. 80. According to report SEGIP/DNO/426/2017, signed by Dr. Rubén H. Cruz Hurtado, the head of identity cards of the National Operations Department of the Personal Identity Service, a total of 850 prisoners have been issued with identity cards (see annex 30). 81. The departmental directorates of prisons, in coordination with the Personal Identity Service, are continuing to ensure the issue of identity cards (see annex 31). 82. The Health, Rehabilitation and Social Reintegration Unit of the Directorate-General of Prisons has held thematic workshops for treatment staff working for the psychological and social support services. The workshops, which were held on 18 and 19 April 2017, were intended for professionals around the country with the aim of harmonizing recordkeeping in the areas of medicine, social work and psychology (see annex 32-A). 83. Since then, new institutional documents have been drafted, including the protocol on the provision of psychological assistance in prisons (2017) and the protocol on the provision of social assistance in prisons (2017), which will make it possible to standardize the technical processing and recording of data concerning persons deprived of their liberty (see annex 32-B). 84. At a later stage of the implementation of the Bolivian prison record-keeping system, information on the medical, psychological and social situation of prisoners, and any other information considered necessary, will be recorded in addition to information concerning their legal status (see annex 33). 85. In response to the Subcommittee’s recommendation, Instruction MG-DGRP No. 13/2016 of 5 June 2017 was issued by the Ministry of the Interior/Directorate-General of Prisons to directors of prisons around the country instructing them to register all persons deprived of their liberty in prisons and extract all the data for which the directors are responsible. Arrangements have also been made for lists to be sent every month to the Directorate-General of Prisons. The lists in question will form the basis of monthly statistics reports (see annex 34). 86. Under an inter-institutional agreement drawn up by the Ministry of the Interior and the Supreme Court of Justice on 10 February 2017, measures are being taken to ensure the sharing of all the information contained in two systems: the Bolivian prison information system of the Directorate-General of Prisons (SIPENBOL) and the computerized system of the Supreme Court of Justice (TULLIANUS), with the aim of verifying and identifying persons allegedly deprived of their liberty for longer than the legally established time period (see annex 35-A). 87. Report MG-VMRIP-AD No. 21/2017, issued by the Office of the Deputy Minister of the Interior and the Police, which reports to the Ministry of the Interior, provides that: GE.18-12244 15
