Guarantee that conditions of detention are effectively monitored by
judges responsible for ensuring execution of sentences in the case of
convicted inmates and by the respective trial judges in the case of
persons in pre‐trial detention. In this sense, it is important that judges of
criminal sentencing execution, whose legal mandate includes visits to
prisons, practice such functions effectively, and in the course of such
visits, effectively and directly verify the reality of persons deprived of
liberty.
Ensure that the personnel assigned to places of deprivation of liberty
systematically provide information regarding the right to lodge a petition
or appeal regarding treatment received while in custody. All petitions and
appeals must be promptly examined and answered without undue delay
and care must be taken to ensure that there is no retaliation against
detainees for having lodged them.
Activate effective, confidential, and independent complaint mechanisms
in all places of deprivation of liberty. Keep records of complaints with
information on the identity of the complainant, the nature of the
complaint, how it was dealt with, and the outcome.
Adopt all necessary measures to ensure that persons deprived of their
liberty or third parties acting on their behalf with their consent will not be
subjected to reprisals or acts of violence for having exercised their right
to file appeals, complaints, or petitions.
