unless the inmates themselves wish to share a cell, in which case there should
be a maximum of two inmates per cells. There are still cells with more than two
inmates in CP Alcalá de Guadaira (Seville).
Installations
§223 AR 2014
112. We have made some observations as regards installations, such as
courtyard roofs to shelter from the rain or sun in CP Bilbao and Dueñas
(Palencia), improved air conditioning/heating systems and renovation of
visiting rooms for lawyers, judges and authorities in CP Jaén, a withdrawal of
barbed wire in the courtyards and windows of the closed regime ward in CP
Mas Enric (Tarragona), installation of a heating system and cleaning of
confinement cells in CP Tenerife II, improved maintenance in CP León and CP
Teixeiro (A Coruña) and the installation of television antennae in the receiving
ward [“módulo de ingresos”] in CP Zuera (Zaragoza).
During our follow-up visits, we ascertained that some installations have been
improved. Such is the case, for example, of CP Alcalá de Guadaira (Seville)
(installation of cell intercoms and renovation of visiting rooms), Bilbao
(renovation of toilets and showers, improved CP maintenance), Gipuzkoa
(installation of smoke detectors and cells intercoms), Madrid II (cell intercoms)
and Ocaña II (Toledo) (renovation of ward 7, installation of intercoms, smoke
detectors and extractors). Installations at the Men’s CP in Barcelona were still
inadequate, although the Department of Justice of the Regional Government of
Catalonia has announced that the CP will be finally shut down in 2017.

insufficient, as is the case in CP Alcalá de Guadaira (Seville), Araba/Álava,
